Also check for .Rprofile or other profile that might contain a setwd()
call.  Starting R with --vanilla should work if the issue is a startup
file.

Hello,

Thank you all for your responses. When I initialize R, the folder in which
it starts is:

getwd()
[1] "C:/Users/Ana/OneDrive - Universidad Complutense de Madrid
(UCM)/Documentos"

So it seems a problem with OneDrive
-Kevin: I do not really understand your question... You mean if I set my
working directory to my C:// or D:// folder in my computer? It doesn't work
either.

-Ivan: this is the message I got when running traceback(). So can I move
the.Rdata file without affecting the work?

-Luke: thank you for the idea, I will try it.

Error in setwd(dir) : no es posible cambiar el directorio de trabajo>
traceback()4: setwd(dir)
3: .rs.onAvailablePackagesStale(reposString)
2: .rs.availablePackages()
1: .rs.rpc.discover_package_dependencies("3C994FEC", ".R")


Best,

Ana
