It turns out that that 'x' comes from the spData package and lives inside that package (part of its namespace).

Another well-known example of this is: > base::pi [1] 3.141593 So, this 'x' is *not* in your global workspace and you cannot remove it without unloading the package. /Henrik On Mon, Jul 23, 2018 at 12:30 PM Jeremie Juste <jeremieju...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > I found a dangerous issue in the library spdep.
