This suggests that maybe the last time the package was installed, it
was installed by an administrator, and you (the user you are logged in
as now) does not have permission to remove it.

A solution would be to log in as an administrator and run
remove.packages("PREDA")
Then log back in as you and reinstall with
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("PREDA")
