JP, when it says , you have to replace that with the path in which you installed Xcode. As it says the line below that, that is usually Developer. So try this code: sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all

I have had Xcode 3.2 on my machine for a while. I’m trying to install it and all the other Dev stuff. None of this works. I don’t seem to have the unintall-devtools script on my machine. Can I get it from somewhere? Any other ideas.

I am using Lion 7.2 + Xcode 4.2, and found the correct command should be
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools

I did the ‘find’ command listed above it was /Library/Developer/3.2/uninstall-devtools etc…

On my Mac, I’m running 10.7.2 and the correct command is: sudo /Xcode3.1.4/Library/uninstall-devtools. (All One Line)

To find it, I went to the Finder, selected my computer, choose Macintosh HD and navigated to the Xcode3.1.4 folder. From there, inside the Library/ directory, I saw the uninstall script. I double clicked it to run and it said I needed to use the ‘sudo’ command like you have above. I retried it with the sudo command and I’m uninstalling as we speak.

Thanks for the tip. It freed up quite a bit of space on this drive space constrained MBAir. All that appears to be left under Developer is some documentation folders. If I wanted to reinstall, would reinstalling Lion reinstall devtools?
