Description

Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
Uninstall multiple versions of Xcode with one command.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is not very often I need to uninstall multiple Xcode versions, but when I do it would be a huge time saver. Instead of waiting for each uninstall to finish I could start the process and let the computer work until it is done.

What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
Make it possible to multi-select installed Xcode versions in the list and then right-click uninstall.

Right now I can only right click on a single version to uninstall this particular version.

Research direction

Start by locating the installed Xcode versions list and the existing single-version right-click uninstall action. Add multi-selection support so several versions can be selected and uninstalled from one context-menu command, then verify that the batch operation completes for all selected versions.
