install.packages(c("dplyr", "tidyr"))

Just say no. I’ve never noticed any difference.

You have a lock file OOLOCK file in the C:\Users\wendy\OneDrive\Documents\R\win-library\4.0 folder that is preventing something being installed. You need to manually delete it.

After that, I'd restart RStudio and try again.

i tried that and got a different error

Looks like you need to update the {rlang} package.

Restart RStudio then

insall.packages(rlang)

And try again.

Good luck

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘dplyr’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘lifecycle’
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘dplyr’ was built under R version 4.0.5
i get this instead :((
