My guess is that you are running the R.app GUI and have not unchecked the default settings in the Startup panel of Preferences:

Correct that this from the app. It is also consistent with what RStudio shows for .libPaths.
The preferences item, however, is unchecked.
I just tried setting it. Exiting the app. Going back in, unchecking it. Exiting the app. 
After going back in the user lib was still there.

What did work was this from Terminal?

rm -r /Users/mjh/Library/R/3.4/library

apparently eliminating it from .libPaths with this?
paths <- paths[dir.exists(paths)]
?

I had tried removing everything from the directory at one point but then I did a mkdir for the directory itself thinking it would do no harm at least having it there.
But apparently it can be a problem if it even exists it then seems to become the default period?
