Remove local app M1 Mac that was created in Xcode

Question

I'm working on an iOS Xcode project on an M1 Mac. I set the run destination as (This Mac) and ran the app on the Mac. Now I need to delete the app to clear its data because I need to make sure a file copy operation happens on first run. A search in Finder shows me the app in /Users/my Name/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/myXcodeProject-cpkgxnpaxvacnldboddpfgojwukv/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos

I can delete the app from there but when I run it again all of its data is still there. I don't see any other supporting files in that directory. The data I want to delete are the files that are automatically copied to the Apps Documents Directory. Any suggestions how to scrub that app off the Mac?

Answer 1

First, open the terminal and do the following:

cd ~/Library/Containers
find . -iname "*bloons*"

This will return an output which is showing a match in an obscured directory name. You need to delete the app and its directory with:

rm -Rf 2EC6B4BC-DD8D-4D49-89A1-4376990BF693
