Description
After installing cargo-edit I can `cargo add crate_name`, great
But now to remove one, `cargo rm` doesn't seem to delete the crate and its dependencies

Like, there's no logging, there's no progress, did it remove all packages, or just unlinked them?
Also, why `cargo add`
But `cargo rm`
Why cut the word? Put both option at least, the convention for rust is using the whole word, I don't understand why this one is an exception.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the cargo rm command entry point and inspect how dependency removal currently behaves and what output it provides. Clarify whether the requested change covers cache cleanup, progress reporting, command naming, or all three; done should include an agreed behavior for each request.
