Please ask Mac-specific questions on R-sig-mac.
In particular, it is a little odd that these are not getting deleted
when you install a new version.
But *if all your packages are up to date* you do not need earlier
versions of R.framework, so run
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
first.

Hi,
I've been using R for a number of years and have always installed the newest
version when released. However I've just noticed that old versions of R are
taking up quite a lot of disk space.

Do I need to keep any of the versions before the current (2.15). If I delete
all the previous versions will that have any impact on the current
installation, or is each version entirely self-contained?
Thanks.
