From R.utils v1.32.4 by Henrik Bengtsson

Removes a directory

Removes a directory, and if requested, also its contents.

Keywords: programming, IO

Usage

## S3 method for class 'default':
removeDirectory(path, recursive=FALSE, mustExist=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

path: A character string specifying the directory to be removed.
recursive: If TRUE, subdirectories and files are also removed. If FALSE, and directory is non-empty, an exception is thrown.
mustExist: If TRUE, and the directory does not exist, an exception is thrown.
...: Not used.

Value

Returns (invisibly) TRUE, the directory was successfully removed, otherwise FALSE, unless an exception is thrown.

Symbolic links

This function can also be used to remove symbolic links to directories without removing the target. Note that neither file.remove() nor unlink() is capable of remove symbolic directory links on Windows.
