Note that these files start with a "."

This is likely a "feature" of Windows Explorer....certain types of
files are hidden by default (like those that start with ".").  You can
adjust this behavior in the folder options (if the idea of
protected/hidden files and folder options all sounds new to you, now
is a great opportunity to spend some time exploring your operating
system, learning how it works and how to use it at a more serious
level than the basic user it assumes....Google is your friend here,
there are literally thousands of articles, walkthroughs, and tutorials
on different aspects of Windows).

This does NOT delete the workspace, it just clears your worksapce of
any objects.

Now you will have saved your current worksapce (which if you just used
rm() as above, will be empty, but still there).

Now you probably just restored an empty workspace.  This is not a
problem, it is normal R behavior and is a sign that everything is
working as expected.
