Remove packages — remove • renv

Remove (uninstall) R packages.

Usage

remove(packages, ..., library = NULL, project = NULL)

Arguments

packages: A character vector of R packages to remove.
...: Unused arguments, reserved for future expansion. If any arguments are matched to ..., renv will signal an error.
library: The library from which packages should be removed. When NULL, the active library (that is, the first entry reported in .libPaths()) is used instead.
project: The project directory. If NULL, then the active project will be used. If no project is currently active, then the current working directory is used instead.

Value

A vector of package records, describing the packages (if any) which were successfully removed.

Examples


if (FALSE) {

# disable automatic snapshots
auto.snapshot <- getOption("renv.config.auto.snapshot")
options(renv.config.auto.snapshot = FALSE)

# initialize a new project (with an empty R library)
renv::init(bare = TRUE)

# install digest 0.6.19
renv::install("digest@0.6.19")

# save library state to lockfile
renv::snapshot()

# remove digest from library
renv::remove("digest")

# check library status
renv::status()

# restore lockfile, thereby reinstalling digest 0.6.19
renv::restore()

# restore automatic snapshots
options(renv.config.auto.snapshot = auto.snapshot)
