I was doing some testing which incorporated a couple of environment variables. I used SETX to create those variables in the user's context to be picked up by other applications. When done testing, I wanted to get rid of them using SETX. Now there doesn't seem to be a way do delete environment variables with SETX - the help text doesn't list a switch for that. But I found out entering double quotes does the thing. So: effectively deletes the environment variable.

According to https://ss64.com/nt/setx.html

Setting value of "" (empty quotes) will appear to delete the variable - it's not shown by SET but the variable name will remain in the registry.

Oops, missed that!
