Thank you. Locating and deleting the bad .Rdata file did the trick and I can now work in R.

Thanks.

It should be sufficient to delete the bad .Rdata file.  It's normally
stored in the directory that's current when R starts; if you're using
Windows, you can look in the shortcut to find what the starting
directory is.

If you can make this error reproducible, we'd like to hear about it.
