Xcode 15.2 Update Causes Big Increase in Disk Usage

I just updated to Xcode 15.2 and disk usage increased about 20GB (with macOS 13.6.3). Should this be expected? Are there ways to mitigate this?

In particular, I have only iOS installed, and I see an iOS simulator DMG here (Library > Developer > CoreSimulator > Images) which is 7.35GB. Is it necessary to retain this file?

Thanks!

Would really appreciate any thoughts on this. Many thanks!
