\begin{Description}\relax
Utility for removing add-on packages.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
R CMD REMOVE [options] [-l lib] pkgs
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{pkgs}] a space-separated list with the names of the bundles or
packages to be removed.
\item[\code{lib}] the path name of the \R{} library tree to remove from.  May
be absolute or relative.  Also accepted in the form \samp{--library=lib}.
\item[\code{options}] further options for help or version.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
If the name of a bundle is given, the whole bundle will be removed.

If used as \code{R CMD REMOVE pkgs} without explicitly specifying
\code{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 \code{lib} instead of the default
one, use \code{R CMD REMOVE -l lib pkgs}.

Use \code{R CMD REMOVE --help} for more usage information.
\end{Details}
\begin{Note}\relax
Some binary distributions of \R{} have \code{REMOVE} in a separate
bundle, e.g. an \code{R-devel} RPM.
