How to get rid of rust target [Windows]
To remove a specific Rust target for Windows, you can use the rustup
command-line tool. Here are the steps:
Open a command prompt or terminal.
List installed Rust toolchains and targets:
bashrustup show
Identify the target you want to remove. Targets for Windows typically have the
[x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]
,[x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
, or[i686-pc-windows-gnu]
suffix.Remove the target:
- For the GNU toolchain:bash
rustup target remove x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
- For the MSVC toolchain:bash
rustup target remove x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
- For the GNU toolchain with 32-bit support:bash
rustup target remove i686-pc-windows-gnu
Replace the target name (
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
,x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
, ori686-pc-windows-gnu
) with the target you want to remove.- For the GNU toolchain:
Verify the target is removed:
bashrustup show
Check the output to confirm that the target you removed is no longer listed under the installed toolchains and targets.
By following these steps, you can remove a specific Rust target for Windows using rustup
. Note that removing a target will prevent you from building and running Rust code specifically targeting that platform.
