Dear R users,



Hello, I am new to R and confused about my PC's memory space after using R a while.



My PC is Windows 8, RAM 8GB. I have run some analyses using commands like "vglm", "aalen(Sruv())", lm()... some regressions.



I also use Stata, and when I tried to run Stata (big file), Stata could not do something which used to do because of the lack of memory space. I suspect R's something because R is the only new activity I did recently.



I tried to google and found 'tempdir()'.

I checked my temporary file but it was empty.

Just in case, after running 'unlink(tempdir(),recursive=TRUE)', I restarted my computer, but memory space did not change. But there seems still something big in my C: drive storage and nearly 12GB is eaten.



Could it be possible that R saved something somewhere?

As I finished analyses, all I need is to erase everything stored so that I can get my memory space back.



Thank you so much for your help.



Best wishes,

Ayako
