I have been running rstudio desktop for several months but recently I went to start it and it says "r is taking longer to start than usual" and the loading wheel just spins and spins but it never opens. I am running the latest versions of R and Rstudio as of this post. I am running windows 10 as my operating system.

I have tried deleting .Rdata, Rprofile.site, .Rprofile and .Renviron files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both R and Rstudio to the default locations. When I try to start R with an OS command it says "R is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Yet if I use the short cut I am able to open base R.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be much appreciated I have been trying to fix this for days but have found nothing but dead ends. Please let me know if there is more data I can provide that would be useful in resolving this issue.

Thank you.

Have you tried resetting RStudio's state?

Yes, I have tried resetting RStudios's State, the same problem occurs.
Within RStudios State > log it says "ERROR Unable to retrieve user home path" does this have to do with pathing and R studio being unable to find R?

These are the logs and the errors I am getting when I try to start Rstudio

I have resolved the issue.

I had to uninstall R and Rstudio
Launch "run" enter %localappdata% and delete all files pertaining to R or Rstudio
Launch "run" enter %appdata% go to roaming and delete the Rstudio files there
Got to where I had my R packages installed and delete those
Then I had to reinstall R and RStudio
