Reclaim your memory from mac SSD without using any third party software

I took following steps and saved over 100GB


1. Opened Devices & simulators from Xcode and removed all the unwanted simulators

2. Cleared all the unwanted simulator runtimes from the below path

    /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes

3. Removed all the simulator logs from the below path

     ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/

4. Removed the unwanted device support and all the device logs,derived data and user data from below path

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS Device logs

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

    ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData

5. Remove the temporary files and caches from the below path

     /private/var/folders/

6. Remove the system caches from the below path

    ~/Library/Caches

FYI:

It's always good to take a back up in time machine before doing , just in case if something goes wrong.
