Hi everyone in the past few days the updates on the image are available for download, the problem is I never installed Xcode, nor I can find anything from Xcode installed. I'm NOT a developer and I would prefer to eliminate those updates, specially because they are big, flagged for download automatically so every time I have to un-flag them otherwise it will download.

Is there a way to know if any program uses this command line for Xcode? Is there a way to delete that (even though I can't find anything on my MacBook)?

Please help me.

Thanks in advance to everyone who will answer me.

Thanks for your reply bogdanw. Is there a way to UNINSTALL the command line tools? I tried to instal home-brew years ago but was never able to make it work, so I uninstalled it, but as I see it left these command lines tools lost somewhere inside my hard disk.
