[R-SIG-Mac] Serious problem with R on macOS

[Simon Urbanek]

Fernando,

that looks like something is deleting files on your disk - that sounds pretty bad. I would probably recommend re-installing a fresh macOS as you may have some malware (or over-eager anti-virus or corporate software?) on your machine. Given that R works after installation it really seems like some issue on your OS and not with R itself.

Cheers,
Simon
