Reasons for the occurrence of this error

There can be a lot of reasons for which such an error might occur in R. Some of the reasons are the following:

• When the file path name is misspelled.
• Invalid characters are used in the file path.
• We do not have permission to access a particular file path.
• File exists but there are some other restrictions that exist for compilers.

In this article, we focus on how we can fix the “cannot change working directory” error in the R programming language.

One error that one may encounter in R is:

Error in setwd("C:/Bhuwanesh/gfg") :
 cannot change working directory

Such an error occurs when we try to set a working directory in R, but a part of the file path is misspelled.
