    Just remove all references to it from your code (the fact that it still exists in settings isn't an issue at this point).
    Then stop enigma2 (init 4), edit /etc/enigma2/settings with a Unix text editor and remove the line, then restart enigma2 (init 3).

    Since it's only you who has the setting, don't over-complicate its removal by trying to write code to do it.

    Ahh, I've seen that init 4 command used elsewhere, but didn't know what that did. I will try this and let you know how I get on.

    It changes the run state of the init process (pid 1 - the one which started everything up).
    If you look in /etc/inittab you'll see that enigma2 is set to run in state 3 (and set to be restarted - which is why you can't just kill the process).
    So changing the run level to 4 gets the init process to stop it. Changing it back to 3 gets it started up again.
