Dear R users,
I'm a newbie and have another basic question that you guys can answer for
me.
So, I've been noticing that an object (data frame) called
"FossilFuel" is
loaded as default when I first open up the R (see below).
I created this data frame a while ago which is a data set for tutorial and
I don't need this any more.
I'm not sure why this happens and wonder if there is any way to remove this
object.
Let me know.
-Jason
