Deleting Global Variables From Memory

Itay I

Hello, when developing with skill I tend to create multiple global variables to try things out, and then restart Cadence to remove them from memory.
Is there a way to remove all of the global variables declared past launch without having to restart?

Thanks

    Hello,

    SKILL cannot distinguish whether your global variables were intentional or not. You can de-reference any variable by setting it to the special symbol unbound: 

    myVar = 'unbound

    and it will no longer reference the residual value that might have caused you some trouble.

    Regards,

    Petar
