I tried 'dianame(tempdir())' and removed several 'Rtemp' and all other files. Unfortunately it did not changed C: drive space much. I am really sorry, but could there be other things stored in somewhere in C: drive ? I called IT support, but they could not spot either. Kind regards, Ayako ________________________________________ From: Prof Brian Ripley <rip...@stats.ox.ac.uk> Sent: 17 June 2014 10:37 To: Hiyoshi, Ayako; r-help@R-project.org Subject: Re: [R] C: drive memory full tempdir() is specific to an R session. Start up R and run dirname(tempdir()) and look at that directory. Shut down R, then remove all old files/folders in that directory, especially those beginning with 'Rtmp'. An R process tries to clean up after itself but - it cannot do so if it segfaults .... - Windows has rules which no other OS has which can result in files being locked and hence not deletable.
