In my Applications>Installers>Developer Tools, I have the following items:
What's New.pdf
Developer.mpkg
About AppleScript Studio.pdf
Packages
About Xcode Tools.pdf
Developer.mpkg would be a package file used for installing software and Packages is a folder with a bunch more packages. If this is the situation on your machine, you could delete these if you wished. None of this stuff is part of the operating system.
If you have these items, you might have the full Developer Tools installed. On your hard drive, is there a folder labeled Developer with the folder icon containing a hammer? If so, that folder is about 1 GB and contains the actual Developer code. I suppose that you could just drag that into the trash too, but you might want to run Apple's code to uninstall the Developer Tools. That is described
here.
Basically, you would have to start the Terminal app and then enter the command:
sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl
followed by a return. You would be prompted for your password. When you enter your password, it is not echoed in any way. Just hit return after you are done.
There is one caveat about uninstalling the Developer Tools. Sometimes this also removes the /usr/bin/tar file, which is required for Software Updates. The next time you try to do an automatic Software Update, it might fail.
So, before doing the uninstall, I would make a copy of the tar file by entering this in Terminal:
cp /usr/bin/tar mytar
Then, after doing the uninstall, you could copy this tar back by doing:
sudo cp mytar /usr/bin/tar
Sorry if this is too much information!
