You can delete everything in DerivedData, but you will have to rebuild
any parts of it that are needed for future development.

That is, you won't lose anything that's not replacible by deleting it,
just some time if you need to recompile.

If you've been working on several projects, but are presently working
on only one, look inside of DerivedData to see what folders come from
projects you're not working on anymore, then delete those.  That way
you won't have to rebuild your current project.
