How do i remove a path with sub folder similar to how we add folder with all sub folder? Matlab takes very long to initialize.

I am trying to run matlab and I recently added a lot of paths for my work. As of now Matlab takes too long to initialize. I am trying to remove all the paths and we have add path with subfolder but not an option to remove path with subfolders. Is there any way I can remove it? I have tried rmdir, rmpath (C:\..) but nothing seems to remove subfolder paths. Thank you for your time.
Regards Raj

Try genpath
rmpath(genpath(topLevelFolder));

And just in case there are subdir not in the matlab path, which generates warning messages, suppress warnings:
warning('off','all');
rmpath(genpath(topLevelFolder));
warning('on','all');

Go to Home --> Set Path --> Remove folders in the window or press default as suggested by Kishan.
