detach("package:pryr", unload=T)Unload all packages (using pacman)
pacman::p_unload(pacman::p_loaded(), character.only = T))Check the conflicting packages
conflicts()#with detailsconflicts(detail = T)
List all objects in the environment
ls()Remove all objects in the environment
rm(list = ls())Printing command history
savehistory('rCommands')
rCommands <- scan('file','char')Now run the file name rCommands to get the print of commands.
Change default language
