Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
Please add an option to delete Xcode without putting it to Trash.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Uninstall puts Xcode in Trash. Emptying the Trash afterwards it's very slow and it's an unnecessary intermediate step.
doing rm -rf Xcode.app in Terminal is much much quicker.
What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
Delete the Xcode immediately. Possibly perform the direct deletion by ALT key modifier when triggering "Uninstall" action.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Uninstall action in the XcodesApp codebase and tracing how it moves Xcode to Trash. Determine how an alternate action, such as the proposed Option-key modifier, should trigger direct deletion; done means the selected Xcode is removed immediately without passing through Trash.
