I think remember this error from trying to write an Excel file that already existed. If this file already exists, try to delete it and see, if this solves the issue.
Besides that you're writing that you are "Using write.xlsx to extract data from an Excel file", write.xlsx() is to write an Excel file, not to read from it. Should be read.xlsx() then iirc.
