If you did those, try rebooting. Windows sometimes has issues with pathing so a reboot might get everything right again.

https://git-for-windows.github.io/
Instead of using command prompt you can use their Shell which gives you a linux like command line. This is what I personally do because command prompt can be a pain to use.

78,399 PointsTwo possibilities:
1.) git is truly not there (not installed)
2.) git can't be found - most likely a pathing error
To know which of these two is more likely I would have to know which steps you performed proceeding your attempted use of git as well as how the call to git was made..
