Answer 1

To everyone that couldn't recover their script even with the .Rhistory:

I could recover mine searching in the "AppData" folder, located in your working drive. For my case it was located in "C:\Users\my_user\AppData\Local\RStudio-Desktop". Then there's a file called "history_database" which opening it with the notepad I could see ALL of my previous coding.

If you reopen this file in Rstudio you can see it like a log history. If its too big to see all the entries, just copy it to a notepad and open it again with R (Ctrl + O). I dont know why I didnt see this alternative anywhere else...

I'm just starting in R, so to rearrange again the script I copied the "log-like history" displayed in R to an Excel and then separate them with text-to-columns by a fixed width. This is what worked for me, no other recovery method did.
