If you remove itRemoved with Xcode’s own command, so only devices that can’t run any more go.
What Cachet does instead
Devices for iOS versions you’ve since removed can’t start any more, but still take space. One Terminal command removes only the devices that can’t run.
xcrun simctl delete unavailable
The short answer
Review It won’t come back once removed, so Cachet asks you to look first. It comes back by itself.
From the rules Cachet uses, in the words the app shows.
