This morning after turning on my computer I noticed my hard disk had much less free space than the previous evening. When I investigated, I noticed some very large files, all called environmentTmp (no extension) in a subdirectory of .Rproj.user, had been written to the disk. The files are all about 90 GB. An example of a file is
.Rproj.user/E59D40EB/ctx/ctx-42316/environmentTmp
.Rproj.user/E59D40EB/ctx/ctx-42316/environmentTmp
My question: is it safe to delete these files?
I'm using Windows 10, RStudio v 1.1.383.
