I removed (or uninstalled) homebrew from my laptop completely but I still keep seeing this line above the dollar sign on my terminal:
bash: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew: No such file or directory
How do I remove it? Please and thank you.
You will likely need to remove any reference to Homebrew from either your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile files, or both.

grep ".linuxbrew/bin/brew" ~/.*
I got this output after running the command:
grep ".linuxbrew/bin/brew" ~/.*
/home/privurity/.bash_history:(echo; echo 'eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /home/privurity/.bashrc
/home/privurity/.bash_history: eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
/home/privurity/.bash_history:grep ".linuxbrew/bin/brew" ~/.*
/home/privurity/.bashrc:eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

And what does it tell you? Hint: Read my previous post.
Open that file
/home/privurity/.bashrc
in an editor and remove or comment out that line
eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

I removed this line eval “$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)” from .bashrc.
Thank you.
Most welcome.
