Hallo I increased number of lines which .Rhistory stores before the lines start to be overwritten. You can do this by changing number in Sys.setenv(R_HISTSIZE = 2000) in Rprofile.site located in etc folder of your installation.
And from time to time I rename Rhistory to something like "210621.r" Rhistory is plain text file so it can be viewed in any suitable text editor.
