NAME
cargo-uninstall — Remove a Rust binary
SYNOPSIS
cargo uninstall [options] [spec…]

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

The installation root is determined, in order of precedence:
- --rootoption

- install.rootCargo config value
- CARGO_HOMEenvironment variable
- $HOME/.cargo

Common Options
- +toolchain
- If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargobegins with+, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as+stableor+nightly). See the rustup documentation for more information about how toolchain overrides work.
- --configKEY=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 for more information.
- -CPATH
- 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 must appear before the command name, for examplecargo -C path/to/my-project build.This option is only available on the nightly channel and requires the -Z unstable-optionsflag to enable (see #10098).
