CARGO-UNINSTALL(1)
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:
o --root option
o CARGO_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable
o install.root Cargo config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>
o CARGO_HOME environment variable
o $HOME/.cargo
OPTIONS
Install 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
Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the
term.quiet config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
--color when
Control when colored output is used. Valid values:
o auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is
available on the terminal.
o always: Always display colors.
o never: Never display colors.
May also be specified with the term.color config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
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.
--config KEY=VALUE or PATH
Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in
TOML syntax of KEY=VALUE, or provided as a path to an extra
configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See
the command-line overrides section
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides>
for more information.
-C PATH
Changes the current working directory before executing any specified
operations. This affects things like where cargo looks by default
for the project manifest (Cargo.toml), as well as the directories
searched for discovering .cargo/config.toml, for example.
This option is only available on the nightly channel
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html> and
requires the -Z unstable-options flag to enable (see #10098
<https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098>).
-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.
EXIT STATUS
o 0: Cargo succeeded.
o 101: Cargo failed to complete.
