Simple display all three configuration level (system, global and local) in order to check if you see several http.proxy configuration:

git config -l

You can then proceed to remove the extra one with a:

git config --system (or --global or --local) --unset http.proxy

liwp mentions in the comment a:

git config --system (or --global or --local) --unset-all http.proxy

to get of all http.proxy entries

I had to use --unset-all instead of --unset to get rid of both entries. Otherwise git would just complain again that there are multiple entries.

Note that you can also use --replace-all for setting an existing config value without adding another entry
