I’m having issues with Xcode and trying to install Homebrew, so I decided to just uninstall Xcode and start fresh. However NONE of the uninstall methods I have found anywhere online, work.
For starters, I installed via the App Store, for whatever that’s worth. It seems to mean some things are different from those who did not.
Next, I have no /Developer directory, so ANYTHING that wants me to run something starting with a /Developer path will not work.
There is no /Library/Developer/Shared/uninstall-devtools so executing that will always fail.
Deleting the Xcode.app from my Applications folder and emptying trash, doesn’t appear to have done anything except remove the actual application itself, the App store still thinks it’s installed. I still can’t install Homebrew.
How on earth can I actually succeed in uninstalling this thing?
EDIT: Does nobody know how to uninstall the App store version of Xcode so that I can reinstall it? =(
Finally found the solution to reinstalling XCode. Although I had deleted it from my primary Applications folder, I had a secondary System installed on an external drive, and XCode was present there. Removing it from the Applications folder on THAT drive – even though I was not booted from it – allowed me to reinstall XCode from the app store.
