Error message: 'x' and 'y' must have the same length - r

Question

I keep getting the following error message in R whilst trying to run a simple correlation. Can anyone help?
Error message is:
Error in cor.test.default(my_data$Year, my_data$Total, method =
"spearman") : 'x' and 'y' must have the same length
this is the code I am using:
library("dplyr")
library ("ggpubr")
library("devtools")
my_data<- read.csv(file.choose())
set.seed(1234)
dplyr::sample_n(my_data, 10)
ggdensity(my_data$Total,
main = "Density plot of barrier closures",
xlab = "Year ending")
ggqqplot(my_data$Total)
shapiro.test(my_data$Total)
cor.test(my_data$Year, my_data$Total, method = "spearman")
The data I am using has two columns in a CSV file, one is labelled "year" one is labelled "total". Both columns have 39 numeric entries so the lengths of the columns is identical. Every other part of the code works fine. I am using the latest version of R and latest version of all the packages
Edit: Someone asked for my data frame so here it is:
structure(list(ï..Year = 83:121, Total = c(1L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 1L,
0L, 1L, 4L, 2L, 0L, 4L, 7L, 4L, 4L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 6L, 24L, 4L,
20L, 1L, 4L, 3L, 8L, 6L, 5L, 5L, 0L, 0L, 5L, 50L, 1L, 1L, 2L,
3L, 2L, 9L, 6L)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -39L
))

As user2554330 rightly stated: You'll get that error if you misspecify one of the column names. As can be seen from the output of dput(my_data), the first column's name is not Year, but ï..Year. The given error does not occur with
cor.test(my_data$ï..Year, my_data$Total, method = "spearman")
(You may be able to remove the merging of this byte order mark with the column name by adding the argument fileEncoding="UTF-8-BOM" in the read.csv() call.)
