I have Xcode 4.3 installed on Mac OS Lion, but I can't find a way to uninstall it. Any ideas?
I have no
/Xcode4/Library/uninstall-devtools (can't find an Xcode4 folder) or
/Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools(Library folder doesn't exist under Developer)
I have a Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode with:
I have /Developer with
The only other place I could find a reference to Xcode was in Applications/Xcode.app
Is there something I've overlooked? I would really appreciate any help!

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.
No. You'd need to install Xcode only if you wish to build native apps for macOS, iOS/iPadOS, watchOS or tvOS. Compiling/Building C/C++ programs does not require you to have a full Xcode installation.
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.

Maurizio Zilli:
"In new Xcode 4 and Lion You can install and uninstall from Preferences : downloads : components
If You want to uninstall completely XCode go to launchpad and push Xcode icon for two seconds, so click on the upper left checkbox."
