  2. Save the project to erase the command history.
  3. Click Project > Project Variables to display the Properties window with list of variables. You can also access the Project variables from a menu in the lower left corner of the following Optimization windows: Parametric, Optimization, Sensitivity, Statistical, Design of Experiments, and Design Xplorer Setup. Click Edit Variables and from the menu select Edit Project Variables.
  4. Select the variable and click Remove and OK.

To remove all unused project variables that are not in use (that is, not in the undo/redo command history):

  2. Save the project to erase the command history.
  3. Click Project > Project Variables to display the Properties window with list of variables.

A warning message asks whether you want the unapplied changes in the property window to be applied, and clear undo/redo history. If you select No, nothing happens. If you select Yes, all unapplied changes are applied first, and undo/redo history is cleared; all variables that are not used are removed (including those that are only in undo/redo history before this command is executed).
