[R] [External] Re: Error in setwd(dir) when initializing R

[Ana de las Heras Molina]

Hi,

I uninstalled onedrive, I eliminated all the folders and then reinstalled R
and RStudio... but it is RStudio the one creating a folder
called C:\Users\Ana\OneDrive - Universidad Complutense de Madrid
(UCM)\Documentos.

This is what I obtained with the debugging

Error in setwd(dir) : no es posible cambiar el directorio de trabajo
Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit

1: .rs.availablePackages()
2: .rs.onAvailablePackagesStale(reposString)
3: setwd(dir)
Selection: 3Called from:
.rs.onAvailablePackagesStale(reposString)Browse[1]> dir.exists(dir)[1]
TRUEBrowse[1]> setwd(dir)Error durante el wrapup: no es posible
cambiar el directorio de trabajo
Error: no more error handlers available (recursive errors?); invoking
'abort' restart
