50 variables suddenly appeared in my project

Arcade Help

I kept my makecode arcade tab open on my project over the weekend, with the laptop off the entire time, and when I opened up the tab today I looked at my project and my index and value variables have duplicated like 50 times and I have a variable for every value between index1 and index30, same thing for value. not a huge problem to fix but it is a bit of a time waster to delete all of these.

I’m mostly just wondering how this even happens tbh.

I think - and this might just be me hallucinating - that this happened to me once when i switched a project with lots of “for element value of list” blocks into javascript and back into blocks.

My educated guess is that it made a unique variable for every instance of “value” in the code because compiler shenanegans

nevermind as to how this happens - apparently its from switching from blocks to javascript.
