I'm pretty sure you can remove these safely:
- Examples Folder (~70MB)
- Documentation Folder (~600MB)

Other than that I'm not sure, unless your short of disk space theres really no need to remove anything from the dev tools.

Thanks for the time. Yeah I don't no either but Since I will not be making apps, I will not need say the interface biulder and such. I just want to make sure because I would hate to have to reinstall everything.

also the src directory in the sw directory. Can I delete the .tar, .zip, and the like. I believe they are just the incase of reinstall but they can also be Downloaded again if needed.
I not really running out of disk space but I like to have only whats needed, that way it doesn't out of control.

you might want to save Interface Builder; it's often useful for altering the interfaces of other apps. For instance, VCDGearX's main window had a maximum size that was too small for me to see the whole file path, and I just had to open the nib file in IB and change a few values and it made a world of difference. (also for removing/adding brushed metal to things)
