Multiple versions of Command Line Tools

I was analyzing my files with CleaanMyMac's space lens tool, and found multiple versions of command line tools in

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Is it safe to remove the older versions ? I don't use XCode or Android

Studio, so can I completely uninstall the command line tools ?

Leave them alone unless one what a bigger disaster.


The first 600 posting all point to the same thing, Remove " CleanMyMac "


As Testament read a few https://discussions.apple.com/search?q=cleanmymac and then Remove as per the Developers Instructions.


Please, do not install an Uninstaller to perform this action as they too tend to destroy the OS.


Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.


This includes AntiVirus, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizes, UnInstaller etc.


And CleanMyMac is in this category



The The Built in Security  is all that is required.
