rendering an script creates _files directory not cleared
I found the same behaviour as described here when rendering an script.
The 'zip' file provides an example.

Checklist
When filing a bug report, please check the boxes below to confirm that you have provided us with the information we need. Have you:
-
[X] formatted your issue so it is easier for us to read?
-
[X] included a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example?
-
[X] pasted the output from
xfun::session_info('rmarkdown')in your issue? -
[X] upgraded all your packages to their latest versions (including your versions of R, the RStudio IDE, and relevant R packages)?
-
[X] installed and tested your bug with the development version of the rmarkdown package using
remotes::install_github("rstudio/rmarkdown")?
Thanks for opening. I can't reproduce.
- I downloaded your zip
- Unzip and removed
.htmland_filesfolder - Called
rmarkdown::render("Ejercicio_1.R") - The output is only .html file and the folder _files is removed
fs::dir_tree() ── Barcelona.rda ── Ejercicio_1.html ── Ejercicio_1.R ── str2num.R
This is with
> packageVersion("rmarkdown")
[1] ‘2.29’
On windows? I found the same behaviour with your version, or with the development version.
> packageVersion("rmarkdown")
[1] ‘2.29.1’
Yes I am on windows
Here is the reproduction
dir <- tempfile()
dir.create(dir)
owd <- setwd(dir)
xfun::download_file(
