Delete unused global bot variables?

[DylanS]

In the process of developing a bot, I will create bot variables through calling actions. Sometimes the topics that call these variables get deleted, but the bot variables that were created in the topics persist. My list of bot variables is becoming cluttered with dead bot variable names that I cannot alter or delete.

Is there a way to delete unused bot variables whose source topics no longer exist?

Hi @DylanS Had similar issue with redundant bot variables, With a stand along PVA in a Dataverse environment.

These variables can be removed/ deleted at a solution level layer

1. Accessing the make.powerapp.com, selecting the appropriate environment.
2. Creating a new solution.
3. Adding existing chatbot. This bring in all the chatbot sub components.
4. Within this list of sub components you can filter type to contain "Bot Variables" this will show all variables including the redundant variables.
5. These can either be removed or deleted. **I would triple check and check again before deleting from environment.
