Description

@ThatNerdyPikachu

Describe the problem you are trying to solve

I get quite annoyed of having to clear my target folder and rebuild everytime this happens, and I don't feel like digging through target/ in search for my package.

Describe the solution you'd like

An extension to cargo update (maybe even a seperate command) that removes unused packages from target/.
