SYNOPSIS

cargo uninstall [options] [spec...]

cargo uninstall removes packages that were previously installed with `cargo install`. By default it removes all binaries associated with the package. The `--bin` flag can be used to remove only a specific binary while leaving others from the same package in place.
The installation root is determined by the `--root` flag, the `CARGOINSTALLROOT` environment variable, the `install.root` configuration value, or `$CARGO_HOME` (defaulting to `~/.cargo`). Only the installed binaries are removed; cached build artifacts in the target directory are not cleaned up.
