Remove Powershell error on startup

Question

I tried to install Posh-Git to use ssh with Powershell.

I followed the instructions here

The file here was not digitally signed so I changed the Execution Policy to install it. I then (for whatever reason) decided not to use this so I removed the file.

Now whenever I start Powershell I get an error similar to the below:

The term 'C:\xxx\xxx\profile.example.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

How do I stop this error message from appearing each time I start Powershell?

Answer 1

You need to edit your PowerShell profile and remove that line from there. The easiest way would be (from within your PowerShell):

notepad $profile

or alternatively you can look up your profile with $profile and edit the file there.
