Hi all.  
Yes, variables are not deleted when you delete an specific function but at least you can delete them manually.

By the way, when re-using screens and blocks with “My Screens” can put in your project a couple of variables with same name but behind the variable name there is a unique id, so you just need to change the name to the first duplicated variable and you’ll see in blocks which one changes. 😉
