I tried this (on 10.6.2) and got the following error message:

ERROR: Can’t locate uninstaller script /Library/Developer/3.0/uninstall-devtools
ERROR: Can’t locate uninstaller script /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
Can’t determine system version.

Any suggestions?

Hi Erik,

If you type the system/admin password, that should start the uninstall process.

when i paste
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all
into a terminal window, it gives me this: “WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type “man sudo” for more information.”

then asks me for a password, but when i try to type, nothing happens- any ideas? I’m using 10.5.8 on a G5

For me with XCode from Mac OS X 10.4 CD pack, this is the one to call:
sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl –mode-all

IMPORTANT: If you are going to install a previous version of the
Developer Tools, be sure to restart the machine after installing.
