Hi everyone.  I was just trying to clean up my disk a little and noticed that /Library/Caches/com.apple.Xcode.501 (my UID) was taking over a gig of space.  If you're looking to reclaim a little space, that might be the place to do it!

Xcode cleans that out for you periodically, using the setting of the BuildSystemCacheSizeInMegabytes preference.  The default is 200Mb; Xcode clears the cache on each launch, so if you do a lot of builds, it can get large, but quitting and restarting Xcode will trim it for you.

Actually the default is 1024MB (1GB) :) 

Another interesting default to look at if you are low on disk space is BuildSystemCacheMinimumRemovalAgeInHours.
