Unable to switch Command Line Tools version from MacOSX13 to MacOSX12

Question

I installed the command line tools 14.1_beta_3 (SDK MacOSX13.0.sdk) and I cannot switch back to use the command line tools for an SDK that is compatible with software I am trying to build.

I have both XCode 13.4.1 /Applications/xcode.app AND XCode 14.1 Beta /Applications/xcode-beta.app installed. XCode 13.4.1 points to Command Line Tools (Xcode 13.4.1) but I still get an error in my build that points to the beta MacOSX13 sdk.

I have tried switching the tools xcode-select -s /Applications/XCode.app with the same results.

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX13.0.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h:188:1: note: 'sprintf' has been explicitly marked deprecated here
__deprecated_msg("This function is provided for compatibility reasons only.  Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead.")

I tried just removing the CommandLineTools folder from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and re-installing the command line tools with only 13.4.1 but then the build says it cant find the MacOSX13.0.sdk.

NOTE: This is how to uninstall MacOSX13.0.sdk or switch to MacOSX12.sdk, not how to make it compile with the MacOSX13 SDK.

Apparently this was caused by either the ccache needed to be cleared or the ccache itself was outdated. I updated the ccache via macports (which cleared the cache) and the references to the MacOSX13 went away when I rolled back the Command Line Tools.
