I have Xcode 4.3 installed on Mac OS Lion, but I can't find a way to uninstall it. Any ideas?
I have no /Xcode4/Library/uninstall-devtools (can't find an Xcode4 folder) or /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools(Library folder doesn't exist under Developer)

I have a Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode with:

  • DerivedData
  • UserData
  • Installs
  • iOS DeviceSupport

I have /Developer with

  • Applications
  • Documentation
  • Extras
  • Platforms

The only other place I could find a reference to Xcode was in Applications/Xcode.app
Is there something I've overlooked? I would really appreciate any help!

You uninstall Xcode 4.3 like you would uninstall most Mac applications, by moving it to the Trash. Xcode 4.3 is bundled as a single application so there's no need for an uninstall script.
