Running into an error when attempting to load MASS Package in R Studio but it loads fine in base R

When I run library(MASS) I get the following error in R Studio:

Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : 
cannot open file 'C:/Users/User/Documents/R/win-library/3.3/MASS/data/Rdata.rdb': No such file or directory

Yet it loads fine if I run the command in base R.

I can confirm as per the error message that the file (and the data folder) do not exist. But I've tried re-installing the MASS package (with apparent success) and it still doesn't appear to work.

I'm running R v3.3.1 both in base and in R Studio.

If it's not too burdensome, try removing RStudio and removing the RStudio-Desktop directory

After reinstalling RStudio, try importing MASS.
