Remove Add-on Packages

Description:

     Utility for removing add-on packages.

Usage:

     R CMD REMOVE [options] [-l lib] pkgs

Arguments:

    pkgs: a 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.

 options: further options.

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', use 'R CMD REMOVE -l lib
     pkgs'.

     Use 'R CMD REMOVE --help' for more usage information.

Note:

     Some binary distributions of R have 'INSTALL' in a separate
     bundle, e.g. an 'R-devel' RPM.
