The attached script might come in handy; as defined it removes lines that
matches

 sd="/bc"
 grep -v -i "$sd"

(check the script and locate the lines), delivered to all of you "as is",
no warranties implied... It is probably possible to enhance it: I haven't
bothered to do that, yet.

I use it to remove certain elements of $PATH that _MIGHT_ be in there when I
launch cygwin/bash. Use: "source <script>" is in my ~/.profile
