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

   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://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/> for more
           information about how toolchain overrides work.
