jQuery-UI is included in every default WP installation.
Whether it is loaded depends on your theme and/or plugin(s).

Three Options:

  • live with it
  • disable plugins one by one (and switch theme), figure out which is responsible and whether that’s needed
  • manually deregister it (something, i.e. a plugin, will probably break)
