Good question, I haven't found a way to do it from within Xcode, but they can be deleted from the Finder. The snippets are stored at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets/. Each one is a separate file that you can delete. Unfortunately they're named with an ID and don't give an indication of which one is which. They're XML files though, so either use a text editor or QuickLook to see the contents and recognise them.

Also, I've had to restart Xcode in order to get the deleted snippets to no longer show up.

In xcode select the code snippet Delete title and shortcut and save it after that select the same and press delete a confirmation box pops up asking you to delete or cancel the code snippet.

User-created code snippets are located in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets.

If your XCode UI for deletings snippets doesn't work as in my Xcode 10.2.1, you can navigate to this folder and either delete all user snippets with rm * or use some kind of cat/grep to find the ones you want to delete.

I was trying forever to delete the useless (to me) C++ ones, but apparently you can only delete the user-created ones in Xcode 10. Bummer.

  1. In Xcode 10, select snippet from snippet pop-up dialog.

  2. Then press Shift+⌘

  3. After that just confirm your removal.

Note: This process cannot be undo at this moment.

In the Library select the code snippet you want to delete and press Backspace. A confirm dialog will show up, click "Delete".

I was having trouble, and after messing around a bit it finally worked. You select the user snip and hit the delete key. I tried this multiple times but it didn't work initially. This may be due to me running a prerelease version of Xcode though.
