[R-SIG-Mac] Uninstall R for clean install of R on a Mac

[Simon Urbanek]

Drag the R framework and R application to trash. They are under /Applications and /Library/Frameworks.

If you are more comfortable with the command line, using Terminal you can use

rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework
rm -rf /Applications/R.app

If you get any permission issues, prepend sudo before the command.

Cheers,
Simon
