factoextra (version 2.0.0)

clean_lock_files: Clean up stale package lock files

Description

Removes stale lock directories that can prevent package installation.

Lock files are created during package installation and should be automatically removed when installation completes. If installation is interrupted (e.g., by closing R or a crash), these lock files may remain and block future installations.

Usage

clean_lock_files(package = "factoextra", lib = .libPaths()[1], ask = TRUE)

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE if files were removed, FALSE otherwise.

Arguments

package

Character string specifying which package lock to remove. Default is "factoextra". Use "all" to remove all lock files.

lib

Library path to check. Default is the first library in .libPaths().

ask

Logical. If TRUE (default), asks for confirmation before removing.

Examples

Run this code
if (FALSE) {
# Remove factoextra lock file
clean_lock_files()

# Remove all lock files
clean_lock_files("all")

# Remove without confirmation
clean_lock_files(ask = FALSE)
}
