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:
o --root option
o CARGO_INSTALL_ROOT environment variable
o install.root Cargo config value
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>
o CARGO_HOME environment variable
o $HOME/.cargo

Display Options
-v, --verbose

<https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more
information about how toolchain overrides work.

Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for
details.
