[R] Problems with closing R

[Jeff Newmiller]

A) You ask whether uninstalling RStudio will delete files... I don't think so but this is not the support area for RStudio.

B) R will not delete your data files when uninstalled.

C) I suspect that reinstalling software is unlikely to repair the symptoms you describe (sounds like buggy software to me). Simply restarting RStudio and plowing on would be about as effective but less work. However there have been mentions on this list of bugs in RStudio related to incompatibility with R 3.6, [1] which might be related to your problems so upgrading RStudio to beta or downgrading R to 3.5.3 may make a difference.
