Error: package 'Rcpp' does not have a namespace when trying to knit a notebook.

I have been trying to knit a workbook together but when I do this I get the error

Error: package 'Rcpp' does not have a namespace

There was a similar post recently however I tried what they said worked and didn't get anywhere with me.

Thanks in advance for any help!

When I try to reinstall it as suggested in the post I get this error

Solved by deleting the Rcpp folder in my library manually and then reinstalling Rcpp. Seems like I have some windows permissions problems with my library.
