Removed styles still show up in Selection colors. How do I remove them permanetly?

After removing styles that contained a variable, the removed style is still visible in Selection colors. Also component library reports 0 changes after Styles were removed.

What do I need to do to actually remove the remaining hidden styles so that only the variables are in Selection colors (without reapplying them all by hand)?

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging. I’ve confirmed with the internal team that this is a current expected behavior of styles, unfortunately. The team has plans to address this in the future but there is no timeline of this yet. Sorry again for the confusion.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Is there any fix yet? Thanks.

I have a similar issue but now the original hex value that was used to create the colour style is still showing. The file is only using variables now so no styles are available to pick from. I cant notice any pattern as to what components are impacted but some are showing the style, when clicking ‘go to main component’ - the main has the correct local variable

I have raised a similar help request here. This definitely does not feel like expected behaviour. It looks much more like a bug, and one that has been quite disruptive to our system offering to consumers.

Are there any more updates on this?

@y_toku Are there perhaps any updates on this? We deleted styles months ago as part of our process to transition to variables. Unfortunately, the fact that they still show up in the selection colors of library component instances in consuming files creates a ton of confusion throughout our teams.
Further, breaking (deleted) styles in the selection colors to access the underlying variables is treated as a color override you can reset which makes it even more confusing.

Something like a command to “break all layer connections to deleted styles” would be extremely helpful to perform in libraries. It seems like there is currently no way to fix this other than rebuilding all components or reapplying all styles to layers, is there?

This is still very much causing persistent issues for us too! I hope it makes it’s way further up the list soon.
