How do you uninstall old custom installs of Xcode?
When I install a beta, I do a custom install into a separate folder to the latest release version. I have several old beta installs.
How do I uninstall the old custom versions of Xcode?
Can I just trash the folder?
Our do I need to use Terminal?The release notes suggest to use this:
$ sudo /Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
But will this just uninstall my original offi开发者_高级运维cial release version 3.2?
Thanks.
From the release notes:
Throughout this document <Xcode>
refers to the path in which the Developer Tools
Essentials components are installed.
...
To uninstall iPhone SDK and Xcode developer tools on the boot volume along with the
<Xcode>
directory, from a Terminal window type:
$ sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
So, if you used the default installation path of /Developer
, you can uninstall using this command:
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
If you have multiple Developer folders, you can drag any of them to the trash without damaging the others. Developer folders are completely standalone.
Installing Developer Tools from the download image can also install tools in /usr for Unix-style and makefile-based development. The uninstall-devtools script removes these as well. That, also, should not affect remaining Developer folders.
This is more of a comment than an answer, but I have no rep- so to further clarify Jon-Eric's answer:
...from a Terminal window type:
$ sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
Enter this exactly (from the root of your volume), do not cd into the directory and try it:
$ cd /XCode4/Library
$ sudo uninstall-devtools --mode=all
This will not work. Just a FYI, this caught me up...
For some reason, my system had archived xcode 3 even though I was only using 4, and it placed it in /Developer-old, so running
sudo /Developer-old/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
removed the older xcode that had stuck around.
