Dear Duncan, dear Marc,
Thank you for your fast reply.
Can you please tell me:
If texi2pdf() won't delete files how are the files deleted when the
directory structure is Test/inst/doc/?
Is this done by Sweave()?
Best regards,
Christian

In the Details section of ?texi2pdf, there is:
"Despite the name, this is used in R to compile LaTeX files,
specifically those generated from vignettes."
Since it is intended specifically for package vignettes, the path
requirement should not be a surprise. :-)
There is no path requirement. Christian was incorrect in his diagnosis.
texi2pdf won't delete files that existed before it was run, whether or
not they were changed during the run. That's likely what Christian was
seeing.
