You can use the following PowerShell command:

Get-AppxPackage -Publisher "CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US" | ? {$_.IsDevelopmentMode -eq "True"} | Remove-AppxPackage

Note: If you have just want to delete all developer mode apps, you can remove the -Publisher filtering:

Get-AppxPackage | ? {$_.IsDevelopmentMode -eq "True"} | Remove-AppxPackage
