How to overcome issue linked to loading big R object

Hi guys,

I am experimenting new bioconductor packages to make quality control of my methylation data.

So, I am consulting the following link: https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/workflows/vignettes/methylationArrayAnalysis/inst/doc/methylationArrayAnalysis.html#quality-control

I have used the following commands, but using my data:

# importing raw data with minfi 
   library(minfi)
   targets<- read.metharray.sheet("D:/RnBeads/RnBeads_files/20210429_QEIC21-03-5_pt12_1-12")

 # reading in the raw data from the IDAT files
   rgSet <- read.metharray.exp(targets=targets)

After running the last command, I found the following message:

Error in h (simpleError (msg, call)):
  error evaluating the 'args' argument when selecting a method for the 'do.call' function: it is not possible to allocate a vector of size 16.0 Mb

I supposed that I have to load an object of such a great dimension, considered that I have to load 192 IDAT files each of 8 Mb.

How could I overcome the problem linked to load such a big object in my R environment?
