cargo-uninstall(1)

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
CARGO_HOME environment variable
$HOME/.cargo
