This is likely tangential, but as a Linux user I have learned to avoid
any directory name with - or ( or ) or other things, even spaces. Whether or not
those are "valid", they seem to cause trouble.

For example "-" can be picked up in bash scripts as a trigger for options.

And in this case, it looks like the OP does not have control of the name. Sigh.

Hello,

Thank you all for your responses. When I initialize R, the folder in which
it starts is:

getwd()
[1] "C:/Users/Ana/OneDrive - Universidad Complutense de Madrid
(UCM)/Documentos"

So it seems a problem with OneDrive
-Kevin: I do not really understand your question... You mean if I set my
working directory to my C:// or D:// folder in my computer? It doesn't work
either.

-Ivan: this is the message I got when running traceback(). So can I move
the.Rdata file without affecting the work?

-Luke: thank you for the idea, I will try it.

Error in setwd(dir) : no es posible cambiar el directorio de trabajo>
traceback()4: setwd(dir)
3: .rs.onAvailablePackagesStale(reposString)
2: .rs.availablePackages()
1: .rs.rpc.discover_package_dependencies("3C994FEC", ".R")


Best,

Ana

If you run traceback() first thing after getting this error, does it
say anything useful? (Anything besides "No traceback available" would
count as useful.)

Do you have a file named .RData in your home directory? If yes, it may
help to move it away (or remove it if you don't use the saved session).

Also check for .Rprofile or other profile that might contain a setwd()
call.  Starting R with --vanilla should work if the issue is a startup
file.

Best,

luke
