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

   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:

           •  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>.

   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.
