This article contains some *really* bad advice. The script mentioned in that
article:
/Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools
…comes from an install of Xcode prior to Xcode 4.3 (which was when Xcode was
re-packaged into a single app wrapper).
Running that script will run the risk of removing things from the base install
of OS X that cannot (easily) be replaced.
If you haven’t installed the separate CLTools package, there’s nothing to
uninstall outside of the Xcode.app bundle. If you have installed the CLTools
package, there’s no uninstaller provided by Apple to get rid of what was
installed and I cannot on the top of my head remember what gets installed
where.
