I'm on a company lap top where you helped me redirect my package storage. Upon trying to update package and install "usethis", I have an error that says "Error in install.packages : ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘C:\Users\braley\Documents\RPackages’ for modifying Try removing ‘C:\Users\braley\Documents\RPackages/00LOCK’" I need help learning how to remove and then, I assume, replace the 00LOCK :)
