R help - Jun 2009 - shall I uninstall an old R installation in advance of installing a new one ?

I have resumed developing R code on SuSE/Linux version 11.1
I installed the latest 64-bit R version available for my platform. 
Accidentally I figured out I still had an old R installation that, surprisingly,
was not wiped out
by the new SuSE installation from scratch.
I suspect the new and old R versions got mixed up. 
I would greatly appreciate some suggestions about restarting from scratch a new
R installation.

My question is: how can I remove the old R installation so that no old files are
left in the system ?

Moreover, if I choose to install the new R version without previous disk saving 
... where does R get installed (path) ?

Thank you.
Maura

I am not familar with Suse, maybe you should remove R with a Suse equivalent of
the command line
apt-get remove 'name of the R package in Suse'

After that if some files or directory are not removed manually removed them with
rm.

For default path installation, please refer to the R-admin manual.
