howto uninstall the iPhone SDK completely

i started playing with the iPhone sdk... although i am far from a dev guy.

if you ever need to uninstall the iphone sdk use the following command in terminal:
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

"all" will remove all install components included in the /developer folder.

Tabish,

1. Go to your Applications folder
2. Inside Applications open the Utilities Folder
3. Double Click Terminal

Then once the Terminal App opens follow the above instructions. You should then be good to go.

many many many many thanks for this.

Apple always cool and easy: why not put in the manual pdf just one line with this instead 3 pages to get people lost?

Is this supposed to take a long time? It's showing stuff like "*** Missing bundle identifier:" for a lot of stuff that's NOT related to the SDK. I hope I just didn't completely trash my computer...

It takes a little bit to completely uninstall, if I remember correctly about 10m or so. Maybe slightly more.
