I was trying to download package tidyverse, it showed there is no package vctrs when I run tidyverse library. And I had an error when downloading vctrs. Anyone can help? 

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’:
 .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'tidyverse', details:
  call: NULL
  error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):

    The error message includes `Try removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library/00LOCK-vctrs’` what happens if you try that? – Phil Mar 21 '23 at 02:00

    The `00LOCK-*` directories, once they "stick" from a failed installation, are "never" (in my experience) cleared automatically, for whatever reason. It's easy to miss that in the volume of output you get while installing (or failing to install) packages, and I have reattempted several times (yesterday, in fact :-( ...) before recognizing that it is in there. Really, find that directory and delete, it's easy and unavoidable. – r2evans Mar 21 '23 at 02:06
