rm() will unload the data. See also attach() and detach() to load and
unload .RData databases.

Dear R-Users,

I am reading the "An Introduction to R" manual and have come across
data()
function for loading data.

I assume that R requires explicit loading of data objects to save
memory.
Then I'd expect there should be a function that can unload the objects
once
they are not needed anymore, what is this function? It would be helpful
if
?data contained a reference to that function.

Thanks, Vadim
