[R] How to remove an object that is loaded every time R is opened?

[Chris Campbell]

Hi Jason

If you close an R session and save without choosing a filename, a file called .RData will be created. Open a new session and type getwd(). Then have a look in the named file with your folder options set to Show Hidden Files. Deleting or renaming this file should remove the imported object.

Hope this helps

Chris

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
