Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install cargo-wipe

It will make the cargo-wipe command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall cargo-wipe uninstalls.

Back to the crate overview.

Readme

Cargo Wipe

Cargo subcommand that recursively finds and optionally wipes all "target" (Rust), "node_modules" (Node), or ".terraform" (Terraform) folders that are found in the current path.

Usage

Install

The Rust toolchain is a prerequisite.

cargo install cargo-wipe

Read the docs

cargo wipe --help

Use

To find build folders for <language> that can potentially be deleted run

cargo wipe <language>

where <language> is rust or node. For example:

cargo wipe rust

This will run in dry-run mode and just print the list of directories to delete. To actually delete them run it again with the -w flag.

cargo wipe rust -w

Directories are found according to the following logic:

rust: all directories called target containing a file called .rustc_info.json.
node: all directories called node_modules.

You can use the -i <path> argument to ignore certain paths.
