How to prevent objects from automatically loading when I open Rstudio

Question

Everytime I open Rstudio I find some variables in my environment. How can I remove these once for all?

Answer 1

Tools -> Global options -> Restore .RData into workspace at startup (?)

Answer 2

If you have already made the mistake of not changing the Restore .RData into workspace at startup setting in Global options, then to start a fresh R session by canceling the session reload on Rstudio, do this

• Go to ~/.rstudio/sessions/active
• Remove all the active sessions rm session-4ed31304 -R

This solution works for Ubuntu. I guess the same steps can be followed for other operating systems. The only change should be in the directory where active R sessions are stored.
