[R] Re-installing R
Dear R users How does one completely uninstall R from their machine? Going to control panelprograms does not do it for me. After installing the new version it will still remember my previous workspace and all packages I've installed. Thank you.

Re: [R] Re-installing R
You need to uninstall packages directly (they are kept independently of R, which is actually quite helpful when updating so you don't have to get them all anew): this can be done within R by combining remove.packages() and installed.packages(). To delete the workspace you need to manually remove the .Rdata folder in your start-up working directory. Hope this helps Michael On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 8:47 AM, Andrey A ava...@gmail.com wrote: Dear R users How does one completely uninstall R from their machine?
