Question

Locate and delete lingering used variables

  • September 17, 2024

My file has “used variables” which no longer exist lingering around somewhere. No idea what assets could possibly still have these old/deleted variables still connected to them. I have tried the detach deleted variables command already but no luck. Is there any way to locate where these variables are being used without going through each layer one by one? Is this just a bug?

Thanks for reaching out and our apology for the late response!

Could you try “Detach deleted variables” via actions?
