Can't remove rvm from root

Question

So I made the mistake of using sudo in rmv ruby, which created a lot of problems.

I finally removed rmv using rmv implode, and installed another ruby after installing rbenv, but the problems still persisted.

Finally on checking environment variables, I found:

rvm_prefix=/usr/share
MY_RUBY_HOME=/usr/share/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0
rvm_bin_path=/usr/share/rvm/bin
GEM_HOME=/home/devesh/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0
GEM_PATH=/home/devesh/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0:/home/devesh/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0@global
rvm_path=/usr/share/rvm
MY_RUBY_HOME=/usr/share/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.7.0

These variables still exist, and are probably the reason for malfunctioning of gem commands like:

sudo bundle install
sudo: bundle: command not found

I have been stuck in this from morning. Help would be appreciated.

Do

rvm implode

and then remove exported variables from below files

~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
~/.profile

I followed the exact same steps, but I couldn't find any environment variables in .bashrc, .profile or .bash_profile. Since I used sudo sometimes for `bundle update`, I think I might have caused problem there. – Devesh Anand Srivastava Feb 20 '21 at 15:33
exactly you should not use ```sudo``` – adityapandit17 Feb 20 '21 at 15:36
I know I shouldn't have, but I learned the hard way. Do you have any solution? – Devesh Anand Srivastava Feb 20 '21 at 15:43
