Dear Community,
I deleted XCode, because I don't need it anymore. However, it's coming back. Every day, when I am opening Launchpad, I can see it's downloading XCode again (12.xx GB). I am holding that icon and "deleting" it again.
Can you tell me how to stop XCode coming back?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andreas

Go to System Preferences -> Users & Groups and check your Login Items. If Xcode is listed, remove it by clicking the minus sign. Restart you computer and see if the problem has disappeared.
Is this computer enrolled as a Developer ?

Hi Mal-S,
thanks for helping me. I have no login items. Xcode hasn't come back either :).

Hi P. Phillips,
thanks for helping me. Your link contained some useful information to free my Mac from old Xcode files. Xcode hasn't come back today.

Good news and thank you for the updated info.
XCode is coming back after I deleted it
