i removed ~/.local folder and now i get a new error
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/lolcat-99.9.11/lib/lolcat/lol.rb:63: warning: Insecure world writable dir /mnt/c in PATH, mode 040777
is there any way to hide or disable this warning ??
@elswerky
This is not a lolcat-specific message but a lower level security warning.
Your PATH-variable contains a world-writable directory (/mnt/c).
This variable tells your shell where to search for executables when you type a command.
Having a world-writable directory in there is a bad idea.
It means any user on your system could, for example, put a script called ls
there - and the next time you try to list a directory you might execute this
script instead of the actual /bin/ls binary.
I would suggest to remove this directory from your PATH
or to change the permissions so that it is not world-writable anymore.

how to remove such path permently ( i mean windows dirs in $PATH)
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Windows, so I don't know.
Possibly this thread (found with a quick google) might lead to a workaround:
microsoft/WSL#2476
