Removing bad paths from .sympath

How do I remove old/unusd symbol paths frm .sympath?

.sympath+ lets me add a path, but there is nothing to remove it.

This is for the new windbg though, the one with the new UI.

No command line option to remove entries though you can overwrite the entire path with .sympath (i.e. “.sympath c:\foo”)

You can also change the defaults with the UI in File->Settings->Debugging settings

I was also frustrated with the old paths getting reloaded and having to manually changing them at each run. Look for the file at this location and remove the unneeded paths.

~\AppData\Local\DBG\config.xml

<Setting Name="Sympath" Type="VT_BSTR" Value="srv*c:\symbols*https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols"></Setting>
