Clear the environment — rinse • MomX

Remove all objects from the current environment.

Usage

rinse(env = .GlobalEnv)

Arguments

env: Environment to clear. Default is the global environment.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL.

Details

Removes all user-created objects from the specified environment. Useful for cleaning up workspace between analyses or starting fresh.

Use with caution: removed objects cannot be recovered.

Note

I know J Bryan and my old friend T Poisot said it was anti-social in a famous tweet but I still find it useful.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Create some objects
x <- 1
y <- 2
z <- data.frame(a = 1:10)

# Check what's in environment
ls()

# Clean it all up
rinse()

# Environment is now empty
ls()
} # }
