It means R tidied up after you. But it may have tidied up things you dropped by mistake, hence the warning. Without a full example (see the footer of this message) we cannot tell what you (or a package you are using) did wrong.

"Without a full example (see the footer of this message) we cannot tell what you (or a package you are using) did wrong. " That's the main point. But one possibility might be that if they're using TINN-R on Windows, this warning occurs all the time as Tinn-R opens connections for sourcing data into R. Totally innocuous. But just a guess without the info as above. -- Bert Gunter Genentech
