Use git config --show-origin --list to find where those configs from. This will give you the important information about how to remove it precisely.

They maybe NOT from global.

Something not important: They are not "empty", they seems having a value of =.

That config is set in your current repository, not globally. As such, you should not use --global when unsetting. Additionally, since you have them set multiple times, you'll have to use --unset-all:

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