Details

  • Paclets can be specified in any of the following ways:
  • "name"name of an installed paclet
    "name""version"a specific version of an installed paclet
    PacletObject[…]a reference to an installed paclet
  • PacletUninstall returns Null if the paclet removal proceeded normally, or $Failed if no such paclet is installed or if it cannot be uninstalled.
  • PacletUninstall deletes the paclet and its files from your system.
  • Unless you specify a specific version to uninstall, PacletUninstall deletes all installed versions of the paclet.
  • PacletUninstall effectively undoes the operation of PacletInstall.
