I have three rogue iOS simulators, how to correctly delete them and reclaim the disk space?

These img files are costing me 18gb of storage.

If you drop the sudo from that command, it will work. Using sudo operates on root's sims, not yours ;)

If you restart your Mac, does that make a difference? If not, please run xcrun simctl diagnose and attach the resulting output to a bug report, and then post the FB number here.
