I've been searching everywhere, but keep running into the same suggestion: Run "sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all" from Terminal. And unfortunately, every time I do, I get errors and nothing gets removed. How do I completely remove the Developer Tools manually without having to use an uninstall script? The script just doesn't work for me. I can’t seem to remove Xcode from my MBP.

You could also remove ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/. You can search for other support files with mdfind -name xcode -0 | xargs -0 du -sm | sort -rn.
