R: Remove a Registry from the File System

removeRegistry {batchtools} | R Documentation

## Remove a Registry from the File System

### Description

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.

### See Also

Other Registry: `clearRegistry`, `getDefaultRegistry`, `loadRegistry`, `makeRegistry`, `saveRegistry`, `sweepRegistry`, `syncRegistry`

### Examples

    tmp = makeRegistry(file.dir = NA, make.default = FALSE)
    removeRegistry(0, tmp)
