Somehow during the process of updating both Ubuntu and R to the latest versions I ended up with a version of R 3.5 installed into the sudo user's home directory with default libraries set to the sudo user home directory as well (/home/uname/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5 rather than usr/local/lib/R/site-library).
I've tried to remove using sudo apt purge r-base r-base-dev and get a message that the software is not installed. If I type "R" it opens version 3.5. If I go to Ubuntu's graphical interface as sudo user, Software library, R is listed as installed and if I click on the "Remove" button, nothing happens ...
Any suggestions on how to expunge this rogue installation and start anew?
