1) When you reply to a posting you get from mailing list you should aggressively trim the stuff that is not needed to understand you query.

2) My approach to managing my invisible files in the MacOS is to make thm visible with this at a Terminal session:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

Then you can find .Rdata files in whatever directory they might reside. I say "they" becaus you might have one in any directory that was your working directory at the time of a shutdown where you accept the R.app's offer to save work.

So, don't just look at your Library sub directory, which is not a typical place to house a working directory. Instead look everywhere:

find /Users/username/ -iname ".R*"
