Perhaps you at one point added it to your .RProfile so the package is
loaded at startup. You can check by starting R from the command line
with
R --vanilla
which doesn't load any of the profile files.

Another possibility is that SparkR defines some S4 classes, and you have an object of that type in your workspace. To read it might need SparkR installed.

The solution here is to run R --vanilla as above, or to delete the object from the workspace, or the whole workspace.
