Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
It would be nice to have the possibility to delete old iOS Simulator from the download page inside Xcode Preferences... pane.
I think its not an edge case because if a developer decide to stop the support for old iOS version (like drop iOS 5 support when iOS 7 came out) it's useless to retain the iOS 5 simulator downloaded with the old version of Xcode.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Xcode 5.0.2
2. Click cmd+, to open the Preferences... pane
3. Click the Downloads tab
4. Download all the simulators in the Components section
5. Wait till all downloads are complete
6. Try to delete the iOS 6.0 Simulator

Expected Results:
Aside the iOS 6.0 Simulator checkmark there is a Delete button to allow the developer to remove the unused Simulator

Actual Results:
There is no way to delete a Simulator from inside Xcode, only a wacky and unsupported system that consist to find the package inside the app bundle and delete it. (With all the proper consideration for the Mac App Store version)
