uninstall

Uninstall a local development package.

Uses remove.package to uninstall the package. To uninstall a package from a non-default library, use withr::with_libpaths().

uninstall(pkg = ".", unload = TRUE, quiet = FALSE, lib = .libPaths()[[1]])

`pkg`	The package to use, can be a file path to the package or a package object. See `as.package()` for more information.
`unload`	if `TRUE` (the default), will automatically unload the package prior to uninstalling.
`quiet`	If `TRUE`, suppress output.
`lib`	a character vector giving the library directories to remove the packages from. If missing, defaults to the first element in `.libPaths()`.
