  • 0

I do all of my development in Emacs. I never use XCode. The latest XCode (4.3.3) is installed as an app instead of a bunch of files in /Developer and elsewhere. I had to use it to install the Command Line Tools, but now I want to know: Is it safe to drag XCode.app to the trash if all I want is the command-line tools?

    Yes you can remove XCode. If all you need is the command line tools then they can be downloaded as standalone on the Apple Developer link: https://developer.apple.com/downloads
