Xcode 6.1 - How to uninstall command line tools?
I installed Xcode command line tool by issuing xcode-select --install; now I want to uninstall it (without uninstalling Xcode).
I've tried
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
but then I get the error
sudo: /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools: command not found
xcode command-line-tool

If you installed the command line tools separately, delete them using:
rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

You can simply delete this folder

Please note: This is the root /Library, not user's ~/Library).
