How do I remove Developer stuff?

Im running rather low on space on my comp at the moment and I have the developer stuff on but Im not using, I cant delete it by just dragging it into trash. So should I hack it out with terminal or is there a more elegant way.

Open Terminal and type sudo rm -r -f (including a space), drag the Developer folder to the Terminal window, and hit return. It will ask you for your password, and once you've entered it you're done.
 
When low on space, I use OmniDiskSweeper. Even without registering, it shows you where your space is wasted in a very good way (biggest on top). In the registered version, you can delete right from within the application. Without, you'll have to use the Finder or Terminal.
 
Don't make the same mistake I made. I accidentally trashed ALL the developer files since I was runing low on space on my iBook, but in fact, the examples and documentation were taking about 750 megs of the 800 used by /Developer (noticed saw from a remote backup).

... woops :p
