Yes. DO NOT DELETE /var/folders. That's a standard parent directory for per-user temporary directories, and lots of processes use those directories, not just Xcode. Worse, since the outer /var/folders directory is pre-created at install time and ordinarily never gets deleted, I don't think it'll be re-created if you delete it. The results would be pretty bad.
