Good afternoon,
I am actually concerned with this issue too. What if I run R at work and I
simply do not have the necessary access-rights in order to delete the .Rdata
file. Do I really have only 3 choices: ask the admin to delete it, live with
it always reloading the previous workspace, resave an empty workspace.
That'd be sad if it really was like that...
It isn't. Please do read 'An Introduction to R': you can start R with
--no-restore.
And BTW
rm (list = ls( ))
isn't correct: it needs to be
rm (list = ls(all=TRUE))
However, I suspect that YM is starting R with a non-writable working
directory, and (on Windows) the suggestion is that you create a new
shortcut with the working directory (the 'Start in' property) changed
to the base directory of your project.
We've seen instances with an all-users adminstrator install of R on
Windows 7 (but not earlier) that non-administrator users cannot edit
nor copy the shortcut on their desktop. This seems to be a bug in
Windows, so simply create a new one to (e.g.)
c:/Program Files/R/R-2.12.0/bin/i386/Rgui.exe

How to permanently remove;
[Previously saved workspace restored]
rm (list = ls( ))
On next start it still displays;
.....
[Previously saved workspace restored]
There is a file keeping the previous data on Linux
.Rdata
To the best of my knowledge there's an .RData file on Windows as well.
Check your default directory (usually Documents but may be something
else - start R as usual and type getwd() before you do anything).
Remove the .RData file as well the file .Rhistory and you should be
good to go.
