Error with googlesheets package in R - unable to load curl

I'm trying to update a google sheet in R using the googlesheets package, but:

whenever I try gs_title('Name_of_the_sheet'), I get an error saying 'Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘curl’'.

Of course, I tried installing the package curl before calling the package using the library function:

install.packages('curl')

When i install curl, it says : "package ‘curl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked"

followed by:

"Warning in install.packages : cannot remove prior installation of package ‘curl’"

And when I use "library('curl')", I get: "Error in library("curl") : there is no package called ‘curl’"

I've also tried:

• 'install.packages(c('devtools','curl'))'
• using'gs_url' & 'gs_ls' instead of 'gs_title'
• closing all R sessions

. But again, that's of no use.

I want to be able to update the google sheet without running into this error. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Found a solution:

Your package will have a folder name in the location:

C:\Users\Username\Documents\R\win-library\3.5

Delete that folder; then try installing the package and load it. That would solve this problem.
