I’m sorry to bother everyone with this, but I am super stumped. My student put together a Makecode Arcade game and used the “Status Bars” extension. We have been having trouble with retaining his tilemap. Furthermore, when we try to click on it to edit it, the cursor turns into a hand and won’t let go of the capsule for the map. He has had to refresh by opening and closing the simulator, but then the tilemap disappears. Does any know if there a simple solution? Or, is it possible to remove the extension beyond just deleting the blocks?

Hi,

On my phone right now and have not been able to check the code and other issues mentioned.

But generally, to remove an extension you can go into JavaScript mode, open and scroll down the Explorer menu on the left just below the simulator and click on the trash can icon for every extension you want to remove.

You are the best! That was definitely the right solution. For anyone else who might encounter this, I took snapshots of steps. As you will see in this example, my student had placed the “raytracing” extension in their program and then decided not to use it. So, following your example, I first switched to Javascript mode and then opened the Explorer menu in the Simulator window:

Finally, I looked for the problematic extension and pressed the trash can icon to delete it.  
 ![delete this extension](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/24d29c6c7e04816c15228ba331882dd039322203.jpeg)

Easy to do and a big help… thank you again!

I’d like to add that it’s generally good practice to make a backup before doing this, because when switching to JavaScript and back, things can go, well, south
