There is a file keeping the previous data on Linux
.Rdata

How about on Windows?

Generally the same.  Just delete the file if you do not want it.
Also, if you clear your workspace and save and shutdown once, and then
never save your workspace when you quit, it will just load an empty
workspace generally (but in the event that you would like to save your
workspace once for some reason, you just have to save and quit and it
will be there when you get back).

To the best of my knowledge there's an .RData file on Windows as well.
Check your default directory (usually Documents but may be something
else - start R as usual and type getwd() before you do anything).
Remove the .RData file as well the file .Rhistory and you should be
good to go.

Hi folks,

Tks for your advice.

Summing up all your advice I performed following steps without success.

1)
> rm (list = ls( ))
> q()
save working image

2)
> rm (list = ls(all=TRUE))
> q()
save working image

3)
> getwd()
[1] "C:/Users/satimis"
.Rhistory
> list.files(path="C:\Users\satimis", all.files = FALSE)
Error: '\U' used without hex digits in character string starting
"C:\U"
> list.files(path="C:\Users\satimis", all.files = TRUE)
Error: '\U' used without hex digits in character string starting
"C:\U"

-> Windows Explorer
delete .Rhistory manually


Start R
....
[Previously saved workspace restored]

is still there


Please advise.  TIA

B.R.
