Hello Kevin!

What you need to do in shell is:
unset TEST

(unset )

Good luck.

you can use:

unset test

to unset a variable. you don't really need to unset this variable unless you are going to have your script read for this variable again. Basically by this I mean if you have your script do something and print the date along with your action.... and want the action to repeat... but with the current date printed each time with it.

you can also unset multiple variables at the same time if you wish to.

unset test1 test2 test3
