xcode 4.6 compiling takes up 100s of MBs, losing hard drive space
Hello fellow developers. I am having a hard time figuring out where my hard drive space is going. After running (compiling) the app to test, my hard drive space drops 150-300mb of space. I close the simulator and the space does not regain. I restart xcode and even restart the mac and the space is never recovered. I have lost over several GBs of hhd space now and unable to recover or even locate where the files are being created. I have used several disk management softwares to see what files take up how much space and so forth. I have cleared cache, cleared archives and such from xcode. I have tried removing and reinstalling. Any help would be appreciated. thanks community.

What evidence are you observing that shows your free drive space is dropping? Is it possible the space is consumed by hourly Time Machine local snapshots as described here?

If so, the space will be surrendered when needed so don't worry about it.
