I was analyzing my files with CleanMyMac's space lens tool, and found multiple versions of command line tools in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
.
Is it safe to remove the older versions? I don't use Xcode or Android Studio, so can I completely uninstall the command line tools?

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Dec 03 '21 at 17:42

EDIT: Originally answered here.
If you are using any package manager (e.g. homebrew), then you need the command line tools. Here is my current SDK for macOS Monterey 12.0.1:

If you uninstall the command line tools, and some software you are using is dependent on them, then they (or the latest version) can just be re-installed.
