to remove an extension:

1. backup your project by downloading a PNG
2. switch to javascript
3. expand the file explorer underneath the simulator
4. look for the extension in the list of files
5. press the trash can next to it to delete the extension
6. after the project reloads, switch back to blocks

it’s dangerous to delete extensions, because if your project is using a bunch of blocks from the extension without you realizing it then it can end up causing all sorts of trouble!

always back up before removing extensions

Ah yes, I always make sure I have zero blocks of the extension in my game.  
I should still probably back my projects up before

I recently forgot step 1 and lost an hour of progress. Luckily I had a backup from earlier or else I would have lost all of it.
