Remove Add-on Packages

Description

Utility to remove add-on packages.

Usage

R CMD REMOVE [-l lib] pkgs

Arguments

pkgs

a list with the names of the packages to be removed.

lib

the path name of the R library tree to remove from. May be absolute or relative.

Details

If used as R CMD REMOVE pkgs without explicitly specifying lib, packages are removed from the library tree rooted at the first directory in the library path which would be used by R run in the current environment.

To remove from the library tree lib instead of the default one, use R CMD REMOVE -l lib pkgs.

Windows Perl and the files for installing from source packages need to be installed.
