R help - Jun 2013 - delete active dataset

Hi All, whenever I open R using the shortcut on desktop, there are 2 active
datasets in the workspace, I tried to start the program from Start menu,
same thing!! How can I delete these two active datasets and make sure
whenever I restart the program, they wont appear?

Thanks!

It sounds like you inadvertently saved a workspace file.  Have a look in your
current directory and see if there is an .RDATA file there that you don't
recognize. If so, delete it.

Thanks David. I totally forgot that and I had that problem on Windows 3-4 years
ago before moving to linux.
