How to stop a command in R in Windows

Question

I'm using Rstudio in Windows. There is no red octagon for me to click on. I've tried pressing ESC and Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Z in the console but none of those worked.

Answer 1

When running a code, the red octagon will only show while it is working things out. So while it is just running through your written code (reading data and names of things etc) then the octagon will not show.

Pressing ESC will work, unless Rstudio is frozen.

Good luck!
