NAME

       cargo-clean — Remove generated artifacts

SYNOPSIS

       cargo clean [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Remove artifacts from the target directory that Cargo has generated in the past.

       With no options, cargo clean will delete the entire target directory.

OPTIONS

   Package Selection
       When no packages are selected, all packages and all dependencies in the workspace are
       cleaned.

       -p spec…, --package spec…
           Clean only the specified packages. This flag may be specified multiple times. See
           cargo-pkgid(1) for the SPEC format.

   Clean Options
       --dry-run
           Displays a summary of what would be deleted without deleting anything. Use with
           --verbose to display the actual files that would be deleted.

       --doc
           This option will cause cargo clean to remove only the doc directory in the target
           directory.

       --release
           Remove all artifacts in the release directory.

       --profile name
           Remove all artifacts in the directory with the given profile name.

       --target-dir directory
           Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate files. May also be specified
           with the CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment variable, or the build.target-dir config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults to target in the
           root of the workspace.

       --target triple
           Clean for the given architecture. The default is the host architecture. The general
           format of the triple is <arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi>. Run rustc --print
           target-list for a list of supported targets. This flag may be specified multiple
           times.

           This may also be specified with the build.target config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

           Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode where the target
           artifacts are placed in a separate directory. See the build cache
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html> documentation for more
           details.

   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:

           •  auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.

           •  always: Always display colors.

           •  never: Never display colors.

           May also be specified with the term.color config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

   Manifest Options
       --manifest-path path
           Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches for the Cargo.toml file in the
           current directory or any parent directory.

       --frozen, --locked
           Either of these flags requires that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date. If the lock
           file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo will exit with an error. The
           --frozen flag also prevents Cargo from attempting to access the network to determine
           if it is out-of-date.

           These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the Cargo.lock file is
           up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid network access.

       --offline
           Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without this flag, Cargo
           will stop with an error if it needs to access the network and the network is not
           available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt to proceed without the network if
           possible.

           Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online mode. Cargo
           will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even if there might be a
           newer version as indicated in the local copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1)
           command to download dependencies before going offline.

           May also be specified with the net.offline 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 must appear before the command name, for example cargo -C
           path/to/my-project build.

           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

0: Cargo succeeded.

       •  101: Cargo failed to complete.

EXAMPLES

        1. Remove the entire target directory:

               cargo clean

        2. Remove only the release artifacts:

               cargo clean --release
