sys.path.insert() - Skaperen - Jun-02-2021
i inserted a path by doing
sys.path.insert(0,mypath). how do i delete it?

sys.path is just a list. So you can manipulate it like any other list. You can remove elements by index or name.
sys.path.remove('/path/to/wherever') would be one method.

You could also mark the inserted items by giving them a specific type
class MyStr(str):
__slots__ = ()
sys.path.insert(0, MyStr('spam'))
...
# later
sys.path[:] = [x for x in sys.path if not isinstance(x, MyStr)]
