I want to uninstall Xcode 5 beta 5 before installing beta 6 (I know it's under NDA, but as long as I don't mention anything about the software itself, I think we're good). What's the best/safest way of doing that, so I don't jeopardize any functionality? I'm just afraid of arbitrarily deleting things from the developer folder.

The first step to uninstalling Xcode from your Mac (and deleting its residual files) is to move the app itself to the macOS Bin. Launch Finder and click Applications on the right sidebar. Right-click on the Xcode icon and select Move to Bin on the context menu. That will immediately uninstall Xcode from your Mac.
Before you uninstall Xcode junkIt deletes development junk and other unwanted items from your Mac. It also reveals shady apps that usually work in the background. Now, see more ideas and solutions below. Xcode is an Apple-created developer's toolkit for iOS and macOS app development.
The above answer is correct for older versions of Xcode that install in the /Developer/ folder, but newer versions of Xcode Beta can be uninstalled by simply dragging the /Applications/Xcode-beta.app application into the Trash.
