  Have you tried with sudo PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games? This will only work for the actual session.

Close the terminal app, and open a new one. The variable will be reset to its original state then.

If you're on a virtual terminal, and not running gnome-terminal or similar under X11, then you can log out and log back in again, to reset the variables. You can type exit to log out, or press Ctrl+D.

Follow these steps to recover the PATH environment variable :

• Delete the culprit file from /etc/profile.d/ (if any)


• Delete the culprit line from /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc (if any)


• Execute source /etc/environment to start reseting the path environment variable


• Execute source /etc/profile followed by source /etc/profile.d/*
  


• At last source ~/.bashrc
