RStudio opens up with full environmet

Question

when I try to open RStudio, it opens with this environment and I can't open any files because it looks like RStudio is loading this large matrices.

I just want to open RStudio and start with a clean environment and no.rmd files on it

I have aleady deleted all.RData Files and.Rhistory files, uninstalled and installed both R and RStuido, and still, it opens up with all.rmd files and this large matrices on the environment

Answer 1

Ah, yeah, sop go to tools > global options > R General

There you'll see options to restore data on startup. Uncheck those.

If the matrices are so large that it's causing you to run out of RAM, you may need to delete the rproject file (and associated things like.rproj.user. .rhistory, .Rdata, .ruserdata --you may need to enable show hidden files to do that). Or just make a new project and start fresh (copy over the files and data from the broken project directory).
