Reading the documentation might help.
 From the
R for macOS FAQ
1.3 How can R for macOS be obtained and installed?
R is available on CRAN in the form of an Installer package containing 
the R framework and the R.APP GUI. The package is usually named R.pkg 
with an optional version number.
The installation is done by double-clicking on the Installer package. 
The Installer will guide you through the necessary steps. Note that it 
will require password or login of an account with administrator 
privileges. The installation can be customized, but the default is 
suitable for most users.
Snapshots of the R-patched and R-devel flavours are available at 
http://mac.R-project.org/, <http://mac.R-project.org/,>  packaged in the 
same way.
Further details, including uninstallation and building R from the 
sources, are in the ‘R Installation and Administration Manual’.

Hi

This is probably an email for Simon Urbanek.
I have been an R user on Windows for many years, however switched to
using R on my MacBook Pro 2012 running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6.
Please can you provide instructions on how to properly and completely
uninstall R (I am currently using R 4.1.1), so I may make a clean
install of R 4.1.2.

thanks,
Amarjit
