Tramp checks all directories which are in the variable
`tramp-remote-path'. You can customize this via

M-x customize-variable RET tramp-remote-path RET

Likely, it contains the entry "Private Directories" (in lisp, this is
the entry `tramp-own-remote-path'). You could remove that,
this are the directories from your local $PATH variable.
