Stop packages from loading on startup in RStudio

When opening RStudio I have a few packages that are loading. I have not set up my .rprofile to load packages on start up.

Here's the content of my current profile:

# startup options for R

# turn off scientific notation by default
# hard code the US repo for CRAN

.First <- function() {
    options(scipen = 999)
}

local({
  r = getOption("repos")             
  r["CRAN"] = "https://cran.rstudio.com/"
  options(repos = r)
})

For regular start up and most projects, these packages are loading:

Loading required package: RMySQL
Loading required package: DBI

Although, for another project I see this:

Loading required package: RMySQL
Loading required package: DBI
Loading required package: clValid
Loading required package: cluster

At startup, here is what my session looks like:

Apparently I had prior established database connection objects that were saved in my .Rdata file and upon loading of a project these connections were requiring the packages to be loaded. After removing the connections the packages no longer load on start up.
