How to remove entry from $PATH variable after uninstalling Fusion?

I removed Fusion Tech Preview from my M1 Mac by following this official guide.

After completing all the steps and rebooting my Mac, an entry that points to the now obsolete application path (/Applications/VMware Fusion Tech Preview.app/Contents/Public) remains in my shells $PATH variable.
The installer must have set this entry somehow, but I can't find the location where it is set.

How can I remove the entry from my $PATH?
