Rust distribution uses massive amount of storage space#37971

I'm a school student trying to work with Rust on lab computers. Students have between 0.5 GB and 1.5 GB of storage space.

My .multirust folder looks like this:

cpaten2@teaching:~/.multirust$ du -h --threshold=5MB
192M    ./toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib
192M    ./toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
192M    ./toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib
356M    ./toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib
12M     ./toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin
368M    ./toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
368M    ./toolchains
368M    .

Is any of this superfluous? As it is I'd have to delete everything else in my user account to get Rust to run.
