unable to install packages after update to R 4.2.1

Hi there,
I would need some help with installing packages. Since I made an update to the latest R version 4.2.1.

install.packages("tidyverse")
library(tidyverse)

The downloads don't show any error, but at the end the output is the following:

package ‘colorspace’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Error in install.packages : ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\R\win-library\4.2’ for modifying
Try removing ‘C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\R\win-library\4.2/00LOCK’

library(tidyverse) is therefore also not working:
Error in library(tidyverse) : there is no package called ‘tidyverse’

It does the same with every package I am trying to install. I already deleted 00lock, that didn't work. Then I fully deinstalled R and RStudio and installed both latest version and I have the same problem, additionally I can't find any '00lock' under the indicated directory.
I also tried uninstalling all packages.
Anyone any ideas?
Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

The problem is solved :slight_smile:
There was still a 00lock that I had to manually delete, but the directory was not visible until making it show hidden folders...
