Getting several errors in R - ggplot2 package won´t load

Question

I am having a hard time trying to load some R packages. As an example, I provide below the errors I´m getting from ggplot2 package.

library(ggplot2) 
Erro: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in namespaceExport(ns, exports):

This is what I get after loading the package.

I´ve already uninstalled and reinstalled R(v4.0.3), and got the same errors from previous versions, and R Studio. I had also reinstalled this specific package more than once, and tried installing every package pointed to be a necessary auxiliary to this. I also installed R tools but nothing seemed to work. If anyone can help me to fix this, I appreciate.

## Edit: The warning messages from several other packages which are not working properly:

Edit: After running update.packages() the packages won´t load and I still get these warnings:

Answer 1

Have you tried updating the packages?

Try update.packages() and let me know if this solves your problem.

Answer 2

I actually ran into a tutorial in which the person had the same errors from R while trying to load installed packages. What I did was to delete the folder of win-library in which the R version installed the packages, in my case, the 4.0 folder. Then I restarted R, reinstalled all the packages (including ggplot2) and it is working so far. If R starts returning errors again I´m coming back to tell.
