I want to completely wipe my computer of everything that was installed with:

xcode311_2517_developerdvd.dmg (which when mounted is called Xcode tools)

as well as:

iphone_sdk_for_iphone_os_2.2.19m2621afinal.dmg (which when mounted is called iPhone SDK)

however i can't seem to find how to do so. Do these packages install files JUST to the developer folder or do they install files in the /system or /library folders or anywhere else for that matter?
any help would be great.

P.S I already tried
Code:
$ sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
and it didn't work with this message:
Code:
-bash: Xcode: No such file or directory
 
Yeah... except that removes everything I want to keep such as about 8 games, potoshop, iwork, and a few downloaded programs, not to mention all my music and pictures and other basic files!

I found this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/406373/

Can anyone confirm that this is the best way to go about removing Xcode tools and iPhone sdk?

i mean change this:
Code:
$ sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

to this:
Code:
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

and of course I DID remove the $ when i copied the first one to terminal.
