R Premanently Occupy Server Memory
R uses memory. That may lead to large virtual memory allocation, with a consequently large paging file. Managing paging files is an operating-system-specific system administration skill, not an R issue.
Depending on the algorithms you are using in R, you may be able to pick more memory efficient methods, but preventing any runaway process from bringing the server to its knees is sysadmin work.

Could anyone please point me to the location of the temp memory that R occupy in Window Server 2008 R2? After we finished running many R codes, our server memory (C: drive) become full and currently our only solution is to restart server. We would really appreciate if anyone can suggest how we can clear the occupied memory without restarting. Best Regards, Suphajak Ngamlak
