One wonders how it was created in the first place; with write
privileges almost always come delete privileges.

There are always more options, but they may not be more pleasant.
Here are some examples:

1) Start R in a different directory
2) Rename the .Rdata file
3) Move the .Rdata file out of R's starting directory
4) add --vanilla to your start R command (also useful if your .Rdata
file is corrupt or you want to avoid using your .Rprofile file for
some reason)
5) Stop using R (though this seems a little extreme)
