How to uninstall one of the downloaded Xcode simulators?

My iOS 7 Simulator won't boot (Unable to boot the iOS Simulator). I want to completely reinstall it.

enter image description here

I tried:

  • Deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
  • Deleting Xcode and downloading it again from the App Store.

But the iOS 7.1 Simulator remains installed. How to remove it?

Note that I also tried:

  • Resetting the simulator content and settings.
  • Deleting the simulator device and creating it again.

and it didn't fix my problem.
