Are you serious? The OP asked how to delete *one line* from an
environment variable, and you respond by deleting them all?
$PATH is a single line in the env. The OP asked how to delete it, so I
told him. If he had asked how to get rid of a single piece of the $PATH,
then my answer would have been longer and more precise.
English is clearly the OP's second language, and his post was pretty clear that
he did indeed want to remove a single item from the things named in $PATH. He
even provided example code showing exactly what he wanted to remove, and which
demonstrated that he knew it was a colon separated string, which he was
presenting as lines for purposes of clarity.
