R help - Jan 2005 - Help with R and Bioconductor

Hi,

I am new to using R and Bioconductor. My first attempt at installing R
seemed successful. Then while attempting to getBioC() I had to force
quit the R application since I had to attend to something else
urgently. When i returned and tried to getBioC, I am getting errors
indicating that there is a lock on some files. So i would like to
uninstall/remove all R components and Bioconductor components and then
start afresh again. Can somebody tell me how i can remove/uninstall
all R and Bioconductor components?

Thanks for the time and effort involved in answering my question.

Regards
Ashok

Why not just let it run?

The directory will likely be <path-to-R>/library/00LOCK (I say likely
because the '<path-to-R>/library' part could be something else if
you
specified an alternate installation directory or your default .libPaths is
different then standard), and removing that directory will solve your
issues.
