this is an evergreen question - discourse search on “cannot allocate vector” turns up this: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 17348.7 Gb - #7 by RR_Stan

good luck.

This error normally occurs when you have run models under R3.6, and then upgraded to R4.0 and are trying to run them again. To fix this, you need to remove any pre-compiled models by deleting the .rds files in the directory and starting in a clean R session

Dear Andrew,

Many thanks for your helpful advice. I did the advice and was work to my issue. regarding the .rds files, i am not sure if I should all the .rds file from R directory or just from the directory that my codes are there?
