Summary

Manually clearing environment variables in Postman can be a tedious task, but this approach offers a more efficient method by dynamically unsetting variables using JavaScript. By utilizing the `pm.environment.toObject()` method along with the Lodash module, users can retrieve all environment variables and iterate through them using the `_.keys()` and `_.each()` functions. By applying a condition with the `startsWith()` method, variables with specified prefixes, such as "demo," can be selectively removed. This process can be streamlined by assigning a unique prefix to variables expected to be deleted later. Users can manage and edit environment variables within the Postman app by accessing the Manage Environments or Quick Look icons, allowing for easy creation, sharing, and modification of variables.
