I understand that those who installed Xcode 4 via the developer site are able to uninstall via /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all
, however I installed via the App store and there doesn't seem to be an executable with the word "uninstall" in the name anywhere in the Developer folder at all. Any suggestions on how I should go about uninstalling Xcode 4?
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.
If you uninstall Xcode, the original Install Xcode application is probably still sitting in your /Applications/ folder as downloaded from the Mac App Store, don't forget to delete this too otherwise you are wasting 1.8GB of disk space.
Click Applications, and then scroll down to the list of authorized apps and revoke the authorization for the Xcode Cloud app. Self-managed GitLab Instance. Sign into your account for your self-managed GitLab instance and go to your account settings. Choose Applications and then delete the app for Xcode Cloud.
This help for Xcode before MAS install /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools
If you install it from MAS you can remove from launchpad, but also need to remove some folders** and files created by this app, you can use some helper application that found this files and safely remove it :)
** ex.: ~/Library/Developer, ~/Library/Application Support/Xcode, ~/Library/iPhone Simulator, Logs and etc.
