R help - Feb 2012 - unlink: parameter "force" not available in R windows version

Hello,

I use the R command

unlink(file, recursive = TRUE, force = TRUE)

to delete folders, subfolders and files on Mac OS X.


When I was running my script on a Windows computer I realised that for
unlink there is no option/parameter "force". I do not know why but
without
that "force" option R cannot delete the subfolders/files. 

What can I do?

Hello,

I am not exactly sure but I think the version which is installed on that
windows computer is 2.13.x
So it looks like that the people who developed that function recently
updated it.
I need to check that on Monday.

Thanks for you answer.
