Remove a specific cached runtime version

Removes a single cached runtime version instead of clearing the entire cache. Use cache_info() to see what's available.

Usage

cache_remove(runtime, version, platform = NULL, arch = NULL)

Arguments

runtime

Character string. One of "r", "python", or "nodejs".

version

Character string. Version to remove (e.g., "4.5.3", "3.14.6", "v22.11.0").

platform

Character string. Platform ("win", "mac", or "linux"). Required for all runtimes including Node.js. Use the same canonical names that cache_info() reports in the platform column (e.g. "mac", not "darwin").

arch

Character string. Architecture ("x64" or "arm64"). Required for all runtimes including Node.js.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE if removed, FALSE if not found.
