uninstall Xcode 6.1.1

Hello Apple community,

i have installed Xcode 6.1.1 from the AppStore and would now like to uninstall it. Unfortunately, I do not know really how it works. I've read in several forums that here should provide a command via the terminal remedy. Unfortunately, I get the error that it can not find the file:

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

sudo: / Developer / Library / uninstall-devtools: command not found

What do I do next? Can I throw in the trash the app easy?

Thanks for your help.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Xcode is a Mac App Store app now. Go into LaunchPad, click and hold the Xcode icon until the X appears and it starts to shake. Then click the X.

Sorry, this isn't true. The Xcode icon does shake. But no X appears; and it cannot be deleted.

Yes, it is true. nExli specifically asked "i have installed Xcode 6.1.1 from the AppStore". Xcode works just like any other app store app. If you install Xcode using some other method, then it won't behave like an app store app.
