I mistakenly installed RUST in my "src" tree. It works but I'd like to move it to someplace under my local AppData directory like "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Rust" or maybe "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Rust\Stable". I can't see where the "self" or "update" options of "rustup" have an option to do that. Is there an option to do that or do I do a full uninstall and re-install? I think that the documentation implies that I can set the "RUSTUP_HOME" and "CARGO_HOME" environment variables before installing RUST and that will cause "rustup" or the installer to put the executables into "%CARGO_HOME%\bin". Am I reading that right?
Version info:
C:\>rustup --version
rustup 1.26.0 (5af9b9484 2023-04-05)
info: This is the version for the rustup toolchain manager, not the rustc compiler.
info: The currently active `rustc` version is `rustc 1.73.0 (cc66ad468 2023-10-03)`
Environment vars:
C:\Users\*JOE_USER*>echo "%CARGO_HOME%" && echo "%RUSTUP_HOME%"
"C:\Users\*JOE_USER*\OneDrive\Documents\Src\.cargo"
"C:\Users\*JOE_USER*\OneDrive\Documents\Src\.rustup"
Here's where the multiple renamed versions of "RUSTUP" are:

You can just move the .cargo and .rustup directories and set RUSTUP_HOME and CARGO_HOME accordingly. You might also need to adjust PATH and similar variables.
