Cannot remove git remote

Every time I use 'git init'. some old repos appear as origin

git remote -v       
origin  https://github.com/a.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/a.git (push)

I can't remove theme

git remote remove origin
fatal: Remote-Repository not found: 'origin'

I'm able to add new remotes

origin  https://github.com/a.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/a.git (push)
bucket  https://b@bitbucket.org/b.git (fetch)
bucket  https://b@bitbucket.org/b.git (push)

or

origin  https://github.com/a.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/a.git (push)
origin  https://b@bitbucket.org/b.git (fetch)
origin  https://b@bitbucket.org/b.git (push)

and remove 'b' if I like (in both cases), but it's not possible to remove 'a'

I tried to remove old global git files, tried set-url, removed the local repo ... none worked

github git

I suspect you have a remote origin in your global git config. To verify:

git config --global --get-regexp ^remote.origin.

If the command returns at least remote.origin.url remove the remote from the global config:

git config --global --remove-section remote.origin
