I need to reinstall X-code for my computer so i am uninstalling it. I tried the magical "sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all" command but to no evail. It says "sudo: /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools: command not found" Please help!
Thanks in advance!
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
In new Xcode 4 and Lion You can install and uninstall from Preferences : downloads : components
If You want to uninstall completely XCode go to launchpad and push Xcode icon for two seconds, so click on the upper left checkbox.
Xcode 4.3 has no uninstall script. In Xcode 4.3 move Xcode to the Trash to uninstall it.
But if you need to reinstall it the App Store thinks you still have it!!!
How do you tell the App Sore it's not there?
Hi,
You used the command 'sudo: /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools' but it is actually located in /Library/Developer/uninstall-devtools.
If you remove Xcode from the Launchpad all you do is to remove an icon. This is why AppStore does not let you re-install Xcode because it is still there.
Use /Lbrary/Developer/3.0/uninstall-devtools instead.
It's better to sudo sh and find the uninstall-devtools by yourself.
Uninstall Xcode for Lion?
