$PATH error every time Terminal is Opened

Question

I had installed Postgres.app before and after I uninstalled via App Cleaner now every time I open terminal this error appears in the first line I should mention that a followed what documentation for uninstalling the Postgres on their website but it doesn't work for me.

Warning: $PATH entry "/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/bin" is not valid (No such file or directory)

.bash_profile:

# source ~/.profile

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*


export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/node@6/bin:$PATH"

how can I get rid of this annoying warning? Thanks.

You should look at all bash initialization files. There may be many, depending on your distro. There's a good list on tldp :

• /etc/bash.bashrc
• /etc/profile
• /etc/bashrc
• ~/.bash_profile
• ~/.bash_login
• ~/.profile
• ~/.bashrc

Consider that some of these files may also include all files in some directory. For example on most instances /etc/profile will run every .sh file in /etc/profile.d/ , this may include a paths file called /etc/profile.d/extrapaths.sh .

EDIT:

After checking the documentation for PostgresApp ( 1 , 2 ), and this issue I found that it uses a file called /etc/paths.d/postgresapp . Be sure to check it.

If you'd like to remove the paths, it states that you should run the following command:

sudo rm /etc/paths.d/postgresapp
