command line - Permanently unset environment variable SUMO_HOME

Previously I installed sumo and set environment variable SUMO_HOME by adding SUMO_HOME='/usr/share/sumo' in /etc/environment.



Now I have uninstalled sumo and want to unset env var SUMO_HOME, I tried this:





  1. $ unset SUMO_HOME

  2. https://askubuntu.com/a/624958/645099



As in 2nd point I opened these files:



/etc/environment
/etc/profile
~/.profile

~/.bashrc


I searched for SUMO_HOME in these files. I found it in /etc/environment as I added previously, I removed that line, restarted the system.



But again if I type:
$ echo $SUMO_HOME



I get output:
/usr/share/sumo




How can I permanently unset it's value ?



My commands and outputs:




  1. check sumo path and SUMO_HOME env. variable



$ whereis sumo

sumo: /usr/bin/sumo /usr/share/sumo /usr/share/man/man1/sumo.1.gz

$ echo $SUMO_HOME
/usr/share/sumo




  1. removing sumo




$sudo apt-get remove sumo

  1. again check sumo path and SUMO_HOME env. variable



$ whereis sumo
sumo: /usr/share/sumo


$echo $SUMO_HOME
/usr/share/sumo



  1. unset SUMO_HOME



$ unset SUMO_HOME


$ echo $SUMO_HOME
No outpout





  1. restart system


  2. again check sumo path and SUMO_HOME env. variable





$ whereis sumo
sumo: /usr/share/sumo

$echo $SUMO_HOME
/usr/share/sumo


Why it's still showing same ?
