Uninstalling Xcode 4

[wilky94]

Hi, has anyone managed to uninstall xcode 4? I decided to upgrade my iPhone to 4.1 beta and I need to install Xcode 3.2.4 again but terminal gives me error messages.
Thanks

You can install Xcode into different directories and make shortcuts for each of them.

The release documentation is explicit at several places that to uninstall XCode 4 you need to use the uninstaller that came with XCode 4. Attempts to use an uninstaller from a previous release may result in an incomplete uninstall.

That having been said, I haven't actually tried to do this.

I think you should try this:

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools

Then enter your admin password and voilà !

Just wondering, I've been getting messages about a missing .dylib, and hoped that an uninstall / reinstall might solve the problem.

I submitted the cmd

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all

It got there in the end, but it initially threw up loads of these error messages in terminal, just wondering if they indicate a bad previous install? or a bad uninstall? or are they normal ?

Do you know if this is relative to the location of the dev tools? I have an instance of the XCode 4 beta from this summer installed separately from my main SDK location, and I want to get rid of it without messing up my main version.
