[SOLVED] Rustc-1.19.0 - It is safe to remove ~/.cargo directory after compiling

I'm using BLFS-8.1 systemd.

Just finish compiling Rustc-1.19.0.
Is it safe for me to remove ~/.cargo directory?

Thanks before.

I deleted mine, because it takes up a lot of space.

If you are a rustc programmer, you might want to keep it. It contains config data that helps you modify rustc via the cargo front end. The only reason I installed rustc is to compile firefox, because mozilla changed their source code from gcc to rustc.

Deleting ~/.cargo has not affected blfs in my case.

Thanks plasmonics.

Deleting ~/.cargo can cause nothing to my BLFS.

I could compile QtWebEngine-5.9.1 (rustc-1.19.0 is recommended), dan Firefox-55.0.3(rustc-1.19.0 is required).
