Do you have other instances of R open at the time you are doing this? Did
you already have mgcv installed in your personal library when you tried
installing it again?
There is clearly something preventing you from writing to your library, or
at least to specific packages in your library.

I've used different CRAN mirrors though and gotten the same error.
Would you suggest deleting my personal directory and recreating it? I
get the same error if I try and install packages to my documents, my
desktop, wherever, so I sort of doubt that would fix the problem.

Nothing jumps out at me yet.
1) You missed including the text of your command (presumably
install.packages) along with the actual text of the error.
2) What is the output of:
getOption("repos")
3) You might also consider looking at
system2( "cacls.exe", .libPaths()[1] )
though we may not be able to interpret the output appropriately in this venue if you are
working on a managed computer... you might need local help. I would guess you would need
"yourdomain\youruser:(OI)(CI)F".
Note that your personal R library is not deleted when you uninstall R...
if you have not yet deleted C:\Users\pl39\Documents\R\win-library\3.4
and let R re-create it then uninstalling would not have helped a permissions
problem.

Perhaps someone here will see something useful if you post the output of the
following function calls:
sessionInfo()
.libPaths()
file.info(.libPaths())
and the verbatim (copied) error (in context) that you are seeing.

Thanks Jeff,
So I initially when I got the computer moved my old packages into the
new directory rather than downloading and installing them again. That
was fine. I then just did a test to see if I could write in the
folder and indeed I can. Just not via R.
I uninstalled R Open, installed R 3.4.4, and the problem persisted,
including just running it from the R console rather than from R Studio.
I haven't done anything (like installations) with administrator
rights
- I just have them. That said I've checked the permissions of the
library folder and I have all permission. I don't run R in any
special way.
So I'm not sure where that leaves me... thanks for any suggestions.
Paul

A) Don't try to "move" packages from one library (=directory of
installed packages) to another.
B) Although R Open is very close to CRAN R, it has some differences
that you REALLY NEED TO READ about at their website. Pay particular
attention to the checkpoint feature in this case. Note that troubles
installing it or with the MKL are probably off-topic here, though R
language questions should still be fair game.
C) Having Administrator rights carries at least as much
responsibility to know what you are doing BEFORE you do it as it
bestows flexibility to get things done. If you used "Run As
Administrator" to install R or any packages then you have probably
set the permissions on your personal library inappropriately. If so,
you need to use your superpowers judiciously to eliminate your
personal library completely and then run R as a normal user to install/update R
packages.

I'm running Windows 10 / R Studio / R Open 3.4.3
Since getting a new computer recently I cannot install packages into
my
personal libpath directory, and I can't seem to update packages (it
says all packages are up to date even if I manually install an old
version). I've got 100% admin rights on the computer and in the
library
folder, I've set my R environment variable to specify the correct
directory, I can freely move things manually in and out of the
library
if needed, and R can read and use any package that's already in there.
But I can't install or I get the "unable to move" error.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything, tried this in
non-Studio sessions using both R Open and regular R 3.4.4, and I get
the same error.
Thanks for any help,
