Rstudio opens all files in package after build - r

Every time I build my package after a modification, R studio will display every file in the package as untitled, and I have to close them and reopen them in order to modify files before another build. To be honest, it doesn't affect functionality that much, but is annoying and can sometimes cause Rstudio to crash.
Has anyone seen this before, and can suggest a fix?
I would post a screenshot, but I am new to stackoverflow and don't have enough reputation (10).

I haven't figured out what caused the problem, but I was able to solve it by deleting all the project files produced by Rstudio (.RProj.user, packagename.Rproj, .Rhistory, .Rbuildignore), and then creating a new project in the existing directory.

Can I restore unsaved RMD file?

I used Rstudio and IOS systems.
I moved my RMD file from the desktop to a folder to prepare for submission without saving it before changing the places of RMD, which means it wasn’t the last version. I used R for most of my data cleaning process and indeed spent a lot of time on it. Is there any specific way to restore it?
Thanks very much for any potential help.
I tried restart the R. Check the recent files but nothing found

Rstudio - cannot save files or open Rscripts 'The system cannot find the path specified'

Error when saving Rscripts
Error when opening Rscripts
Hi guys,
Have been stuck on this problem for the past year or so and would really appreciate any help. I am unable to save any Rscripts in Rstudio, as I keep getting the first error above. The one exception is, when running Rstudio with administrative permissions, - when saving into C:/Users, which is apparently the default working directory. I am also able to open Rscripts from C:/Users, but not from anywhere else. When I change my working directory using setwd(), Rstudio accepts the change but I am unable to save or open files in the new directory (or anywhere else).
I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling Rstudio and R, as well as adding the folder R and Rstudio are in, and my desired working directory folder into the 'PATH' variable in windows (through 'edit the system environmental variables'). But nothing seems to be working. Have also searched online pretty extensively but haven't managed to find a working solution so far.
I am using the latest 2021.09.1 Build 372 of Rstudio, and R 4.0.4. However, I have also faced the same problem on the last few versions of Rstudio and R over the past year as I have tried to update hoping that it would fix the problem but to no avail. I downloaded R and Rstudio from CRAN and the Rstudio website respectively.
Thanks a lot!
This exact thing happened to me. It turned out for me that when I updated my Window's environment variables, I added an extra slash for my HOME variable. This screwed things up with RStudio.
Search for "Edit the system environment variables" after pressing the Windows button and edit the HOME variable to make sure there is no trailing slash.
Good
C:\Users\leune006
Bad
C:\Users\leune006\
I hope that helps you and whoever else comes across this frustrating "bug"!

R studio not responding

My RStudio is opening multiple processes(opening R Studio in different windows) when I open just one. I am not able to open any project. It becomes unresponsive. I tried using in compatibility mode, running as admin and also uninstalled. But still,(here's the image) the same problem persists. Can someone please help me?
Before you reinstall everything, which may take a lot of time, it is worth removing application data, which is a cache R keeps of last sessions etc. It involves settings such as information from last session, etc which RStudio tries to reopen every time you open it.
For app data, look under your user folder which must be somewhere like
c:\Users\<your_user_here\AppData\Local
c:\Users\<your_user_here\AppData\Local\LocalLow
c:\Users\<your_user_here\AppData\Roaming
Delete every subfolder called R, RStudio-Desktop or RStudio under these folders. Don't worry, you won't lose your source program files and projects. It may help you recover everything without having to start over from scratch.

RStudio is slow when loading a project / package in development

I have recently experienced a serious problem with Rstudio when developing a package. Whenever, I open an existing project with Rstudio where versions are controlled with Git, it takes so long for it to respond to any command. It is also impossible to type something in the console (e.g. 1+1) and obtain the result. Even quitting the Rstudio, should be done with task manager. There is no problem when I create a new project / package or when I open directly a R script.
This problem appears both when the project is saved on a dropbox or on a local repository.
To overcome this issue everytime I need to modify my code, I create a new project, and then I move toward the new repository all my current R scripts and the folder ".git".
I would appreciate if anybody could help me with this issue.
I had a similar problem to yours. Changing the attribute of my .git folder into hidden solved my problem.
We recently discovered an issue where projects using git for version control could become laggy / unusable on Windows if the .git folder within the project had become a non-hidden directory.

How can/should I set my path.expand in RStudio per project?

My goal is to have path.expand to be automatically modified as I open a project, so that I don't have to keep writing fread(paste0(getwd(),"foo.csv") every time I load a new file, replacing it instead with fread("~.foo.csv")
I've found this question: address project root in Rstudio
Which seems to suggest that there is a .R_USER file per project in Rstudio. I have successfully been running an R studio project in a folder, and have 'unhidden' the the .Rproj_user folder, however, I am now at a loss to edit it. I'm seeing a tonne of different folders and don't really understand what I can edit, or how.
Is this the right path to expand upon? (jks), or is there a simpler and different way to do this? Is this even sensible? It seems like it is to me, but I'm new to all this, so please do say if this is stupid (and why).
