uninstalling iphone sdk

I tried using the Terminal command line ($ sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all) listed in the About file that was contained in the disk image for the installer. All that happened was it said directory does not exist or something to that effect.

I want to completely and properly remove the SDK from my system as if it was never there. Any suggestions? Thanks.

WHY can I not uninstall the SDK?

It asks me for the password, which i don't a password, so i hit enter, and this happens. I cannot get it to uninstall. Nothing happens.
