How to Remove the Coredata iPhone Emulator

You can remove the Coredata iPhone emulator by uninstalling the iPhone development kit from the operating system. However, if you just need to remove the Coredata schema because you are seeing errors when you attempt to build the project, there is a fix for this issue. When developing applications using the iPhone SDK with the iPhone emulator, you need to remove all traces of previous versions of the Coredata project prior to attempting to build the project. To remove the files from previous builds, delete all build files from the file system.

Instructions

Remove Coredata Build Files

1. Right-click on the Windows “Start” button and then click the “Open Windows Explorer” option. Windows Explorer opens.

2. Navigate to the path below. The Coredata build files are located in this directory. Insert the location of your project into the space designated by the brackets.

   C:\Program Files\Coredata/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/[your project folder name here]/Documents/

3. Delete the file named with your project name, and with the “.sqlite” file extension in the “Documents” directory. Do this by clicking on the file and then pressing the "Delete" key. For example, if your project is named “MyProject,” delete the “MyProject.sqlite” file. The Coredata build file is deleted. You should now be able to build your iPhone project.

4. Navigate to the following directory and delete all files to remove all apps from the iPhone emulator, if desired.

   /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications
