[SOLVED] pacman -R: target not found

Dear all,

I have an error when I try to delete some package.
For example, I have Rstudio  and R installed and I want to remove it. When I do

pacman -R rstudio
or
pacman -R r-base

I have an error: erreur: impossible de trouver la cible: r-base
which can be translated as: error: target not found.

How can I do?

Thank you!

Best

How did you install these packages? Are you sure that you are using the right package names?

There is 'r' in the [extra] repository, and there is 'rstudio-desktop' in the AUR, but no packages matching the names you have tried to remove.

Hi! I am also user of R programming lanaguage.

In arch linux the name of "R programming language package" is 'r'.  Rstudio packages are not officially supported, in AUR there are rstudio-* packages, none of them are called 'rstudio'.
