Ghost Variables in Figma

Romina Kavcic

Samantha Gordashko compiled tips and tricks across Figma forums, Reddit, and the Tokens Studio Slack community, starting with the most straightforward solutions and ending with the "heavy machinery" approach.

The community calls them "Ghost Variables." These are supposed to be deleted but still appear in your Figma files. This can get very confusing. If you're lucky, a tip from our community experts might solve the issue. If not, you might have "Zombie Variables."

Here's what the guide from Samantha Gordashko covers:

  1. Ghost vs. Zombie Variables: Understand the undead variables in your files.

  2. 5 Signs Your File is Haunted: Discover how it happened.

  3. Pro Tips from Experts: Get advice from community members.
