unset

Q1: Why would you want to unset variables in Linux Bash? In Linux Bash, managing environment variables efficiently can help in improving security, reducing memory usage, and preventing potential conflicts between scripts. Sometimes, it's necessary to unset certain variables to ensure that they don't unintentionally affect subsequent operations or scripts. Q2: What does it mean to 'unset' a variable? Unsetting a variable in Bash means that you are removing it from the environment where it exists. Once a variable is unset, it no longer holds any value or data, and trying to access it will result in an error or a null value.
