🚨 Variables: Deleted collections and modes don't disappear

When Variables was released I created some collections for testing. Since then I settled on a final version but the old deleted collections still appear in the page/layer selection on the right panel. The same is happening to deleted modes.

          I encountered a similar situation, I had a Collection with some color, after delete it, it still visible in the layer panel, but there is no missing color in the Selection Colors… However after a bit check up, I did find some merged shape layers still have the old variable, although they don’t appear as missing in the outer Selection Colors, delete them and the old Collection finally gone.

            I think it’s a serious problem. I think it would be good if Figma could solve it quickly.

                    This is really annoying. I have random text variables that I cannot get rid of - even thought I deleted them - they just keep showing up as options to select even though they don’t exist.
