[R] Ghost variables

The script is complete.  When I start, the environment is empty.
The warnings are issued for these "ghost" variables well before they
are
created later in the script.
Somehow previous incarnations are lingering around and being unhappy even
after they were "deleted".
Jeff Newmiller has suggested a solution I have yet to try.

Doesn't that mean that your script is incomplete, that it needs to make
those variables?

Fellow R-gonauts:

I frequently erase/remove all the objects in my current environment so can

I re-run scripts to ensure that analyses are complete, error-free, and
accurate.
However, sometimes when I re-rerun a script I get warning messages (see
below for example)  regarding some variables (objects) when these
variables do not exist in my current environment.
These ghost variables had existed at one time, but were subsequently
removed by the rm(list=ls()) command or by the broom icon in RStudio.

What's happening and how do I exorcise the ghosts?
