How to remove/delete an exported environment variable?

Hello,

What I usually do is to use the unset command. All that you need to do is to run the following:

unset API_KEY

If you are writing a script, for example, to check if this is working you could have the following check:

if [ ${API_KEY} ] ; then 
    echo $API_KEY 
else
    echo "No API Key Found"
fi

Or you could also use the printenv command which would print all of your currently available environment variables.

Hope that this helps!
