Hi:
Some paths were previously set that are now causing errors when I restart MATLAB and run a script.  I open Set Path, highlight the paths to remove & remove them, I save, then close.
The paths are in Set Path at every restart.
Please advise

      2 alternative methods i would try:
1.
rmpath(genpath(topLevelFolder)); %in case it has subfolders that create issues genpath may be necessary
rehash toolboxcache 
2. 
restoredefaultpath %if you dont care about the your current path tree, this will reset it to factory
rehash toolboxcache

				Thank you, the problem were due to a third party tool saving the path even through Matlab restarts
