How to uninstall R completely from OS X

Question

I'm on Mac OS X 10.11.5, R version 3.3.1

I followed the instructions to remove R:

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Uninstalling-under-OS-X

In command line:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework /Applications/R.app \ /usr/bin/R /usr/bin/Rscript

I no longer see R in applications or anywhere else on my computer. However, I am still able to run R from the command line.

I am mystified. What is going on? How do I get rid of R completely? I want a fresh start.

Answer 1

Use which R. It will give you the location where R is running so that you can remove it from there.
