R: Remove Add-on Packages

REMOVE {utils} | R Documentation

## 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.
