REMOVE Remove Add-on Packages

Description

Utility for removing add-on packages.

Usage

R CMD REMOVE [options] [-l lib] pkgs

Arguments

pkgs

a space-separated 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. Also accepted in the form --library=lib.

options

further options for help or version.

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.

Use R CMD REMOVE --help for more usage information.

Note

Some binary distributions of R have REMOVE in a separate bundle, e.g. an R-devel RPM.
