install.packages() has problems with non ASCII characters in your path, try installing on a different package library, like for example

# Change accordingly to your R version
install.packages("ggplot2", lib ="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library" )

Or change your windows username to something safer

install.packages("ggplot2", lib ="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library" )
Warning in install.packages :
'lib = "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library"' is not writable
Warning in install.packages :

Error in install.packages : unable to create ‘C:/Users/???/Documents/R/win-library/3.6’

You have to run Rstudio as administrator to install in that path, also make sure the path is correct, it is different for different R versions

how can i check the path is correct?

The path in my example is for R 3.6.1, I don't know what R version you are using, so It could be different for you (each R version gets installed on its own folder).
