What about uninstalling the packages using (for example) R> packages.remove() You are using a custom startup script that loads everything in all you libraries. This is pretty bad (IMHO) for several reasons, amongst them 1) you may have a conflict with loading two packages containing functions with the same name. 2) It is bad for debugging, especially if you want help from other people. 3) when you install a package, you are installing over something you have already loaded.
