The answer is correct but just for older versions of Xcode. With newer versions:

1. Just trash the /Applications/Xcode-beta.app application

and, if you're replacing it with a new stable version (new Xcode.app), remember to:

2. run sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app to specify the new app that you wish to use for command line developer tools.

If "the app can’t be moved to the Trash because some of its extensions are in use", just restart the Mac before trying again.
