R: Removes/cleans files and folders that have been saved

SimClean

R Documentation

Removes/cleans files and folders that have been saved

Description

This function is mainly used in pilot studies where results and datasets have been temporarily saved by runSimulation but should be removed before beginning the full Monte Carlo simulation (e.g., remove files and folders which contained bugs/biased results).

Usage

SimClean(..., dirs = NULL, generate_data = FALSE, results = FALSE,
  seeds = FALSE, temp = FALSE, save_details = list())

Arguments

`...`	one or more character objects indicating which files to remove. Used to remove `.rds` files which were saved with `saveRDS` or when using the `save` and `filename` inputs to `runSimulation`
`dirs`	a character vector indicating which directories to remove
`generate_data`	logical; remove the `.rds` data-set files saved when passing `save_generate_data = TRUE`?
`results`	logical; remove the `.rds` results files saved when passing `save_results = TRUE`?
`seeds`	logical; remove the seed files saved when passing `save_seeds = TRUE`?
`temp`	logical; remove the temporary file saved when passing `save = TRUE`?
`save_details`	a list pertaining to information about how and where files were saved (see the corresponding list in `runSimulation`)

Examples

## Not run: 

# remove file called 'results.rds'
SimClean('results.rds')

# remove default temp file
SimClean(temp = TRUE)

# remove default saved-data directory
SimClean(generate_data = TRUE)

# remove customized saved-results directory called 'mydir'
SimClean(results = TRUE, save_details = list(save_results_dirname = 'mydir'))
