A better approach is to *never* save and load workspaces unless you know
exactly what is in them. Always reply "no" to the question about saving
your workspace (or set that as the default). If you accidentally end up
with a workspace being loaded, delete it.
I must admit that I'm a bit surprised by this. I was always under the
impression that saving/restoring workspaces was the proper workflow in
R. If you use R interactively (e.g., not by running scripts), how else
would you store your data, intermediary results, etc., while working
on a project? Am I missing something?
I think Michael and Hadley have already given good advice. I'll just
add one thing: If you use R interactively, you should still be running
scripts, just running them within an interactive session. That way you
have a record of what you did, and can back up (by starting over and
running everything up to a known good spot) to make corrections.
