Unwanted Command Line Tools update

Hello,

I cancelled the heavy xCode App since I finally it turned out that I did not need it, and removed all files from the Library (the Developer files). According to Clean My Mac I have NO junk from xCode. However I keep on having this "Command Line Tools update" (right now 2 of them) which I do not want at all. I am running Monterey 12.3.1 on a Macbook Pro. If anyone knows how to cancel those updates and prevent them to appear again I would be REALLY GRATEFUL

Uninstalling Xcode Developer Tools

To uninstall Xcode developer tools on the boot volume along with the <Xcode> directory, from a Terminal window type:

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

To remove the underlying developer content on the boot volume, but leave the <Xcode> directory and supporting files untouched, from a Terminal window type:

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=systemsupport

To just remove the UNIX development support and command line tools on the boot volume, but leave the <Xcode> directory and supporting files untouched, from a Terminal window type:

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=unixdev

Finally, to just uninstall the <Xcode> directory you can simply drag it to the trash, or from a Terminal window type:

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=xcodedir

NOTE: The uninstaller that ships with previous versions of the Xcode developer tools will not clean everything off of your system properly. You should use the one installed with these Xcode developer tools.

First, uninstall CleanMyMac per the developer's instructions. All these type "helper" apps are little more than pure trouble.

A web search finds: https://osxdaily.com/2012/02/20/uninstall-xcode/. As far as I know, this is the definitive removal process.

Thank you, man. I tried almost all of them and got this "sudo: /Library/uninstall-devtools: command not found" So I will have to keep on trying something else.

Thank you again!. Hard luck though!. I finally get this: "No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables.' found at '/'.

....@MacBook-Pro ~ %" It seems I have no commandline tools. So what would it update?  We'll see some day. The bright side is that is nothing critical, just a nuisance.
