Once again StackOverFlow to the rescue. A "Martin R" gave me the answer
he discovered after using "dtruss -n Xcode" to explore what Xcode was
doing! [Something that I never would have thought of since I didn't even
know dtruss existed!]
"In addition to removing the iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk folder, delete also
the corresponding .dmg file in
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads. Then Xcode will not force
you to reinstall it anymore."

So, I downloaded Xcode 4.4 yesterday, and I stupidly asked it to install
the 5.0 Simulator (not realizing it had by default been packaged with
the 5.1 one).
So, when I go to run my iOS project, I get prompted now to run it in 5.0
iPad 5.1 iPd 5.0 iPhone and 5.1 iPhone Simulator. Sigh - I just want to
get rid of the clutter.
But now it seems catch-22 has kicked in. I try to delete the simulator
in the Xcode preferrence pane, but nothing happens (select and use
delete key as there is no "-" button.)
Soooo, I use a trick someone on SO told me about - just delete it in
Terminal:
$ cd
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs
$ ls
iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk
$ rm -rf iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk
After a bit its gone! Worked fine in Xcode 4.3.
Restart Xcode - oh no - I get a dialog box with a draconian choice -
Quit Xcode or re-install the Legacy Simulators.
Can anyone offer advice to this poor hapless developer?
