[R] How to delete the previously saved workspace restored

[jim holtman]

The easiest way (I use WIndows) is to start each session without
loading the previous workspace.  I explicitly save what I need and
then explicitly restore it.  In most cases, I always reconstruct the
data I need.

I use the '--no-restore --no-save' options.
