Thanks Chris. I installed Leopard and Xcode about a month ago on this
particular Mac, and then never actually ran Xcode.app, so I'm certain
there are no updates or third-party files under
/Developer/Documentation. Looking under there, I see:
/Developer/Documentation/DocSets
It appears that lots of files have been left there after uninstalling:
% find /Developer/Documentation/DocSets | wc -l
6870
Should I file a bug?
Thanks,
