The default behaviour of cabal install
is to install the executable to cabal's package store and create a symlink to it in the destination directory (which, in Linux, defaults to ~/.cabal/bin
). If you just want to remove the executable from your path, deleting the symlink is enough.
cabal currently doesn't have a uninstall command. If there's a need to reclaim disk space, the most straightforward way to do so is deleting the store. Here is what the User's Guide has to say on the matter:
The global package store is
~/.cabal/store
(configurable via global store-dir option); if you need to clear your store for whatever reason (e.g., to reclaim disk space or because the global store is corrupted), deleting this directory is safe (v2-build
will just rebuild everything it needs on its next invocation).
