You have not shared with us the "at a minimum" information requested
in the Posting Guide (although your silly corporate confidential
trailer was appended), so take a moment now and read the Posting
Guide, please.
The saved workspace can be deleted. It is a file named .Rdata and in
some OSes is "indivisible". Consult your OS documentation (such as it
may be) regarding deleting "invisible" or "dot" or system files.
You can also start R without any workspace if starting R from a
command line and I believe that it is done with the --vanilla setting.
Yes, that seems to behave as I expected. (I generally use the Mac GUI.)
From a Terminal session:
david-winsemiuss-mac-pro:~ davidwinsemius$ R --vanilla
R version 2.11.1 Patched (2010-06-14 r52281)
---snipped login information----
Type 'q()' to quit R.
> ls()
character(0)
In fact it seems to have also skipped loading my utility functions
from .Rprofile as well as skipping the workspace .Rdata file.
