I did these steps :
- Select needed code snippet and press Delete key.
- A pop-up window will appear , and select Delete button.
- Remember that : this action cannot be undone.

select snippet, delete-return (⌫↩) is the keyboard-fast way, but make sure you have the right thing selected ;)

So simple that you don't get it. 😄 Thanks!

I was trying to do this in Xcode 10, and it wasn't working. I closed the snippets library, reopened it and tried again. Eventually, it worked without having to restart Xcode. If It doesn't seem to work be persistent.

I had to delete all snippet's fields before being prompt the pop-ip window asking for confirmation of deletion. Weird.
In the Library select the code snippet you want to delete and press Backspace. A confirm dialog will show up, click "Delete".

Good question, I haven't found a way to do it from within Xcode, but they can be deleted from the Finder. The snippets are stored at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets/. Each one is a separate file that you can delete. Unfortunately they're named with an ID and don't give an indication of which one is which. They're XML files though, so either use a text editor or QuickLook to see the contents and recognise them.
Also, I've had to restart Xcode in order to get the deleted snippets to no longer show up.

I was having trouble, and after messing around a bit it finally worked. You select the user snip and hit the delete key. I tried this multiple times but it didn't work initially. This may be due to me running a prerelease version of Xcode though.

In Xcode 10, select snippet from snippet pop-up dialog.
Then press Shift+⌘
After that just confirm your removal.
Note: This process cannot be undo at this moment.

I was trying forever to delete the useless (to me) C++ ones, but apparently you can only delete the user-created ones in Xcode 10. Bummer.
Comments
User-created code snippets are located in
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets.
If your XCode UI for deletings snippets doesn't work as in my Xcode 10.2.1, you can navigate to this folder and
either delete all user snippets with rm * or use some kind of cat/grep to find the ones you want to delete.

In xcode select the code snippet Delete title and shortcut and save it after that select the same and press delete a confirmation box pops up asking you to delete or cancel the code snippet.
