NAME

cargo-uninstall - Remove a Rust binary

SYNOPSIS

cargo uninstall [/options/] [/spec/…]

DESCRIPTION

This command removes a package installed with *cargo-install*(1). The spec argument is a package ID specification of the package to remove (see *cargo-pkgid*(1)).

By default all binaries are removed for a crate but the –bin and –example flags can be used to only remove particular binaries.

The installation root is determined, in order of precedence:

·*–root* option

·*CARGO_INSTALL_ROOT* environment variable

·*install.root* Cargo config value https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html

·*CARGO_HOME* environment variable

·*$HOME/.cargo*

OPTIONS

-p, –package spec

Package to uninstall.

–bin name

Only uninstall the binary name.

–root dir

Directory to uninstall packages from.

Display Options

-v, –verbose

Use verbose output. May be specified twice for “very verbose” output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose config value https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html.

-q, –quiet

No output printed to stdout.

–color when

Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

#+begin_quote ·*auto* (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.

Common Options

*+*/toolchain/

If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html for more information about how toolchain overrides work.

-h, –help

Prints help information.

-Z flag

Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.

ENVIRONMENT

See the reference https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.
