I started designing the homepage of a new site but at a certain point of complexity was experiencing behavior that I did not understand and couldn’t correct, so I duplicated the site, deleted everything in the Navigator (except for the Body, of course) and chose “Clean Up” in the Style Manager in order to delete all of the existing styles so that I could start over.
However, despite the fact that none of the styles in the Style Manager are being used anymore, it won’t delete them. (Clicking on the wrench icon for each individual style doesn’t give the option to delete them either.)
I see your frustration, but my advice to you would be to go back to your dashboard and delete that project from there. If you do it from there you will have to start a new project, but that is what you wanted right?
Yes, that would sidestep the issue. But since the issue came up, I was curious if it’s a bug in Webflow, or alternatively, some lack of knowledge on my part that’s involved. Another motive is to learn Webflow, so when something happens that doesn’t make sense, I like to try to figure it out.
I guess this is a little troubling to me too: shouldn’t Webflow have the ability to delete all unused styles?
(My preference for duplicating the project was to duplicate the assets and color swatches. Admittedly, it would be not much work at all to re-add and re-create those if I started from scratch.)
This is embarrassing, but I had picked this project up after not working on it for a while, and had completely forgotten that I had more than one page—I remembered it as just having the home page.
I apologize for having unnecessarily wasted your time, I should have poked around a bit more before posting the “problem,” it just didn’t occur to me in this instance to look for more pages because I had assumed I only had one.
Hmm, maybe it is a bug. I have a project and i am 99% sure i deleted all content, but still there are classes in the style manager, that i can not delete:
I had the same issue and figured out that the classes had an interaction associated to them. Once I removed the interactions I was able to delete the styles.
This was the issue for me. I simply added a div and recreated the class structure and then went to interactions and deleted the interaction that was leftover (even though it said I had 0 interactions in that panel prior).
