How does one delete the error messages from XCode’s Devices & Simulators window
xcode
I have a long list of error in my devices window.
How do I get rid of them?
The errors persist even after removing derived data, restarting xcode, restarting the mac, or a combination of these….

These errors don't persist beyond the session. Quit Xcode and relaunch, or unpair and reconnect the device.
If you resolve the error (e.g. unlock the device), the error should disappear, but if the error has appeared multiple times, it may only clear the last error. It's safe to ignore the older errors.
Click on Purchases by keeping the ⌥ key pressed (option key). It will need 10 seconds to initiate the tab (more or less), but afterwards you'll be able to re-download any purchased app.
If you have the latest Xcode (4.3.2 at time of writing) it should be in /Applications/Xcode. You may have an older Xcode in /Developer. /Developer is now no longer used by Xcode. You should remove it using the provided script if you don't need the old version any more. Execute
and authenticate. When that script completes you can remove the /Developer folder entirely but you should allow Xcode's script to take care of its somewhat "fragile" installation first.
New Xcode lives in /Applications and is much more like a conventional Mac OS X app these days. Lots more information about putting it in the dock, finding other developer apps, command line tools etc. in this other answer of mine.
