Uninstalling Xcode 4.3

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:

I have /Developer with

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!

To uninstall xcode 4.3.x simply drag the Xcode.app to the trash. That's all.

There's still some large docset files in ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/. You could search for other support files with mdfind -name xcode -0 | xargs -0 du -sm | sort -rn.

For some reason, /Library/Developer/ wasn't removed when I installed Xcode 4.3. It contained about 2GB of old docset files.

"In new Xcode 4 and Lion You can install and uninstall from Preferences : downloads : components

If You want to uninstall completely XCode go to launchpad and push Xcode icon for two seconds, so click on the upper left checkbox."

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.
