Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am unable to take any more snapshots
of a particular project of mine in XCode. If I try to create a
snapshot, it says 'Creating snapshot ..' in the status bar and
goes on forever. I then force quit the Xcode, relaunch and try
creating a snapshot again. This time it straight away gives the
error message '..remove file manually .. ...lock'. So I then
remove the shown file using the rm command in terminal. And then
I again try creating the snapshot and the same cycle continues.
How can I fix this issue?  I had been taking snapshots for this
project for a long time and one day had to delete all the old
snapshots as I suddenly realized that they are taking up 12+ GB!
Even now if I try to create a snapshot for this project it
reaches 3 GB in a few minutes and then I force-quit it. (I am
pretty certain this used to work perfectly until some time back
and didn't take gigabytes in space.)  share|improve this
