Hey guys.
First I HAVE been searching the forum and kind off the rest of the internet but did not find an answer so I'm going to post my problem.

I have installed the developer tools pack from apple (Xcode) but I want to uninstall it again.
I've tried the "terminal-thing" with the string "sudo perl /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl" but then it asks me of password.

What can I do to remove the tools?

Thanks in advance, Hald.
 
Put in password.

When I put in my password it says; "Can't open perl script "/Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl": No such file or directory"

Should I reinstall the Xtools package and try again?
 
That uninstall script is in a different location for me. I have Xcode 3.1 on Leopard. For me the script is in /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools I also have a /Developer/Library/uninstall-developer-folder file. But then, better yet there's a uninstaller package located at /Developer/Library/uninstaller/packages-10.5 that you may be able to run if you have it. Try that last one first as it may call the other scripts.

Hey AngelWatt!
Thanks for your response. I Have actually found the last file you mentioned.
BUT which program should I use to open it?
Am I supposed to type it into the terminal with a sudo perl command in the front?

Anyone else?

Can anyone else help me?
I'm having some problems.. ;-(
 
Figured it out by myself.

Ok, so I mingled with it a bit and got it working.

This command should delete the whole thing:

sudo/Developer/Library/uninstaller/packages-10.5
