An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
If you suspect this error is being caused by a malfunctioning plugin,
consider using the --no-plugins option to turn off plugins.

Example: conda --no-plugins install <package>

Alternatively, you can set the CONDA_NO_PLUGINS environment variable on
the command line to run the command without plugins enabled.

Example: CONDA_NO_PLUGINS=true conda install <package>

If submitted, this report will be used by core maintainers to improve
future releases of conda.
Would you like conda to send this report to the core maintainers? [y/N]:

After the above error message suddenly appears, uninstall miniconda:

Delete the envs and pkgs folders in the miniconda installation directory;
Run the Miniconda unistall.exe application in the miniconda installation directory to uninstall the software package.

After uninstalling and reinstalling in R, the following error message appears:
