Maurizio Zilli:

"In new Xcode 4 and Lion You can install and uninstall from Preferences : downloads : components

There's still some large docset files in ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/. You could search for other support files with mdfind -name xcode -0 | xargs -0 du -sm | sort -rn.

For some reason, /Library/Developer/ wasn't removed when I installed Xcode 4.3. It contained about 2GB of old docset files.

You uninstall Xcode 4.3 like you would uninstall most Mac applications, by moving it to the Trash. Xcode 4.3 is bundled as a single application so there's no need for an uninstall script.

Answer 4

To uninstall xcode 4.3.x simply drag the Xcode.app to the trash. That's all.
