Hi, Finally I have found the solution to my problem :  

Basically, git checks .config file at couple of places like user config file(~/.gitconfig), local repo's config file (.git/config) and system specific config.

Alternatively, You can check and verify the location from where configuration is stored or picked from.

git config --global --show-origin

In my case I needed to delete the user and email so I will use those commands :

git config --global --unset-all user.name

git config --global --unset-all user.email

You can also manually delete credentials

As the git credentials are saved in the control panel

Navigate to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Credential Manager -> Windows Credential Manager -> erase the GitHub credentials.
