After running out of disk space yet again on my poor little 30 gig
iBook, I found [after running through the "usual suspects" with
OmniDiskSweeper] that by far the largest wastes of space* I have are
the build folder's for my various projects - about 600 meg in today's
clean alone.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any magic scripts or apps to
systematically purge these build folders? I have about 50 or 60
different projects with build folders at any one time (out of about
200 total), and going through manually in the Finder is at best
tedious, and using XCode nigh high on impossible [given how sluggish
it is].
The only requirement I have is that only the regenerable build stuff
be deleted - not just the whole build folder indiscriminately. I have
the odd one or two build folders with extra stuff in them, like sample
inputs for testing build products and the like, and understandably I
want to keep them. Is there any [relatively] simple rule or
documentation as to what files/folders are definitely XCode-generated,
and consequently subject to purging?
the simplest way to do this is to keep them in a central location
(XCode allows for this).. then you can cull that directory anytime you
need.
your test scripts and stuff probably shouldn't be kept in the build
directory, but in a subdirectory of the source, and you can even add
them to the project if you want.
