🚨 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.

If you have “Text Style” properties feeding by variables, your variables might be coming from old variables set. There is no any way to understand it but to check/apply it manually. I suggest you to re-apply your current variables to your all “styles”.

Hi guys,

I had this problem about 1 year ago. I developed a plugin for this problem. With the plugin I developed, you can detect if you have a broken variable for an element you select in your document. I hope it meets your needs.
