Hi, all,
I'm looking a utility for removing a directory from within R. Currently,
I'm using:
foo <- function(...) {
mydir <- tempdir()
dir.create(mydir, showWarnings = FALSE, recursive = TRUE)
on.exit(system(sprintf("rm -rf %s", mydir)))
## do some stuff in "mydir"
invisible()
}
However, this is assumes "rm" is available. I know of ?dir.create, but
there is no opposite. And ?file.remove appears to work only on files and
not directories.
Any advice? Or is my current approach the only solution?
