remove variable from path powershell script, If statements - windows

Question

I have a piece of code that requires to change the path for the current terminal session.Is there a way to remove just part of the path? I need python removed from path before the application starts. Also my if statements are not functioning and I am not sure why
function anaconda {
$key = "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment"
param(
[Alias('d')]
[Parameter(ParameterSetName='Deactivate')]
[switch] $Deactivate
,
[Alias('a')]
[Parameter(ParameterSetName='Activate')]
[switch] $Activate
)
if ($Activate) {
& 'C:\Anaconda3\shell\condabin\conda-hook.ps1' ; conda activate 'C:\Anaconda3'
#some way to remove C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts\; C:\Program Files\Python310\ from path
}
elseif ($Deactivate)
{
& 'C:\Anaconda3\shell\condabin\conda-hook.ps1' ; conda deactivate 'C:\Anaconda3'
$env:path = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $key -Name PATH).Path
}
}

Answer 1

This removes the paths, now I just need help with those If statements.
$Environment = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "Machine")
foreach ($path in ($Environment).Split(";"))
{
if ($path -like "C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts\")
{
$Environment = $Environment.Replace($Path ,"")
}
if ($path -like "C:\Program Files\Python310\")
{
$Environment = $Environment.Replace($Path ,"")
}
}
$env:PATH = $Environment
