wflow_remove removes files. If the file to be removed is an R Markdown file, the corresponding HTML and other related files are also removed. If the workflowr project uses Git, wflow_remove commits the changes.

wflow_remove(files, message = NULL, git = TRUE, dry_run = FALSE,
  project = ".")

Arguments

git
