Delete a simulator device
AI agents call simulator_delete to permanently remove resources in Xclaude Plugin — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a simulator device is an irreversible operation that removes the entire simulated iOS device and its associated state. This cannot be undone programmatically and would require recreating the simulator from scratch.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'simulator_delete' and description 'Delete a simulator device' indicates irreversible deletion of a simulator instance.
