I was trying to upgrade rust. I tried uninstalling (1.60.0) and reinstalling. The new version is 1.73.0. But when I ran rustc it automatically downloaded 1.60.0 and reverted to 1.60.0. Wonder how can I force it to use the new version?

Rust is installed now. Great!
To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload your PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin).
To configure your current shell, run:
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
(base) % rustc -V

There are a few ways rust could be forced to using a specific compiler version (overrides)
1. The RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN environment variable
2. A Directory override
Directories can be assigned their own Rust toolchain with rustup override. When a directory has an override then any time rustc or cargo is run inside that directory, or one of its child directories, the override toolchain will be invoked.
The per-directory overrides are stored in a configuration file in rustup's home directory.
To see the active toolchain use rustup show and rustup override unset to remove it.
3. The toolchain file
(rust-toolchain.toml or rust-toolchain) can set a specific Rust version.
For example
[toolchain]
channel = "nightly-2020-07-10"
...
4. The default version can be set directly.
Use rustup default to view the default global toolchain.
