Your copy of Xcode is set to have its derived data, the data Xcode generates when it builds your project, put inside the project folder. If you don't want the derived data there, go to Xcode's Locations preferences and set the derived data location to default.



Changing the derived data location from Xcode's preferences sets the location for new projects you create. Choose File > Project Settings to change the derived data location for projects you created before you made the derived data location change.
