Unable to run simple pyspark program - apache-spark

Question

I am trying to create an RDD out of one file which is located on a local system. I am using Eclipse IDE on windows. Below is my code:
from pyspark import SparkConf
from pyspark import SparkContext
conf = SparkConf().setAppName("FirstProgram").setMaster("Local")
sc = SparkContext("local")
load_data=sc.textFile("E://words.txt")
load_data.collect()
Below is my config:
1) Spark 2.4.4
2) Python 3.7.4
I tried variations with the file path name but no luck. Below are the contents of the project where the file is stored in the source folder still unable to read it. However, I am able to read that file via the same path i.e E:/words.txt. I think there is some problem with the SparkContext object.
Directory of E:\workspacewa\FirstSparkProject\Sample
10/12/2019 07:33 PM <DIR> .
10/12/2019 07:33 PM <DIR> ..
10/12/2019 07:34 PM 119 FileRead.py
10/12/2019 06:21 PM 269 FirstSpark.py
02/02/2019 09:22 PM 82 words.txt
10/12/2019 01:22 PM 0 __init__.py
I reinstalled everything and now facing a new error as below:
Exception ignored in: <function Popen.__del__ at 0x000001924C5434C8>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\siddh\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 860, in __del__

I cleaned up all the temp files, reinstalled everything and tried it once again with the below code and it works like a charm.
from pyspark.context import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark import SparkConf
sc = SparkContext.getOrCreate(SparkConf().setMaster("local[*]"))
load_data=sc.textFile("E://long_sample.txt")
load_data.foreach(print())
