Where is the default .RData workspace saved in a Linux environment?

Question

I am running RStudio on a compute cluster, and every time I launch an RStudio instance it immediately crashes. I suspect there is something wrong with the workspace that loads by default. However, I can't actually find where this workspace is stored. How do I delete this file?

I found a hidden file named .Rdata in the /usr/ directory. But when I rename this file and boot up an instance of RStudio, the old workspace still boots up.

I resolved the problem by renaming the folder in the RStudio-Desktop Directory:

~/.rstudio-desktop/sources/

If you're not using Linux, you can find the location of your RStudio-Desktop Directory here:
