Remove a Registry from the File System — removeRegistry • batchtools

All files will be erased from the file system, including all results. If you wish to remove only intermediate files, use sweepRegistry.

Usage

removeRegistry(wait = 5, reg = getDefaultRegistry())

Arguments

wait: [numeric(1)]
Seconds to wait before proceeding. This is a safety measure to not accidentally remove your precious files. Set to 0 in non-interactive scripts to disable this precaution.
reg: [Registry]
Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see setDefaultRegistry).

Value

[character(1)]: Path of the deleted file directory.
