Hi Deepak:

You raise a good point in that there is currently no Storyline feature to quickly remove all unused variables in one step, menu click, or action. 

The most common approach is to delete variables such as these one at a time.

However, if you reuse a project, as I often do, I tend to create newer variables and then stop using many of the older ones from the older project.

I'll try to stop by Articulate Storyline's request link later today and make a specific feature request for this, if it hasn't been covered already, of course (!)

Has there been a solution to this in the last five years? A proper and functioning variable management would be great, so we don't end up with hundreds of obsolete variables from old project iterations. :)

As per one previous update from Lauren, the feature has already been implemented in Articulate 360 Storyline, but I'm yet to check it. You may test if you have the 360 Storyline product license.
