tempdir() is specific to an R session.
Start up R and run
dirname(tempdir())
and look at that directory. Shut down R, then remove all old
files/folders in that directory, especially those beginning with 'Rtmp'.
An R process tries to clean up after itself but
- it cannot do so if it segfaults ....
- Windows has rules which no other OS has which can result in files
being locked and hence not deletable.

Dear R users,
Hello, I am new to R and confused about my PC's memory space after using R a
while.
My PC is Windows 8, RAM 8GB. I have run some analyses using commands like "vglm",
"aalen(Sruv())", lm()... some regressions.
I also use Stata, and when I tried to run Stata (big file), Stata could not do
something which used to do because of the lack of memory space. I suspect R's
something because R is the only new activity I did recently.
I tried to google and found 'tempdir()'.
I checked my temporary file but it was empty.
Just in case, after running 'unlink(tempdir(),recursive=TRUE)', I restarted my
computer, but memory space did not change. But there seems still something big
in my C: drive storage and nearly 12GB is eaten.
Could it be possible that R saved something somewhere?
As I finished analyses, all I need is to erase everything stored so that I can
get my memory space back.
Thank you so much for your help.
Best wishes,
Ayako
