Reinitializing Simulators in XCode

My Simulators are destroyed somehow after installing different Xcode Versions on my machine, moved and renamed them etc. . Is it possible to remove all current Simulators listed inside the Devices Manager and do a clean reinstall or do i have to remove and add them manually ? I tried to reinstall Xcode with no success.

Yes, it is possible to remove / Add all of them, or whatever type you want. Go to

Xcode > Window > Devices

From here, scroll to the bottom, where you will see header saying "Simulators". Those are all simulators that you created (or system created), you can right-click and delete them. There is also button "+" at the bottom, where you can readd them.

Here is screenshot of how it looks:

Hope it helps!

EDIT: If you want to delete them all at once, please use following script, as it is not possible to remove them all at once from the UI:
