Atom writes an envir file each time it runs

Hello,
I am running Atom 1.52.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 with Julia 1.4.1. Now Atom started writing a file ~/ATOM_DISABLE_SHELLING_OUT_FOR_ENVIRONMENT=false (which is empty).
What is it and how can I remove it? Shall I add this environmental variable in .bashrc?
thank you
