My predecessor put a variable in the cards that are unnicessary and I want to delete. I have deleted the variable from all the workflows and some of the cards. The cards that are left give me this error when I save them,
"The variable 'Status' is used by control logic but is not connected to any control in the card. Pleas make sure that all variables used in control logic are connected to controls in the card."
Is there anything else I can do or check to remove this variable?

In the Variable Editor, select the variable and find out what card it's used on.
Open the card, select the variable and select Control > Control Logic...
Delete the control logic...

There aren't any control logic displayed that I can delete.
You need to select the control that is tied to the variable (see my image) - the control containing the variable Vendor must be selected in order to see the control logic tied to it...
That's what I did but here's a better image (the popup window was covering it previously) for variable "Status"
Can you provide an image of how you are getting the error?
It comes up after I delete the "Status" variable and then try to save the card (which it doesn't allow). Here's the screenshot.
Thanks for your help!
Emily,
You can check the control logic in the control drop-down at the top and see if the variable is listed in there, you'll probably have to delete the action before you can remove it from the card.
Okay...now I understand...
You cannot delete the control because it's variable is being used in Control logic for another variable on the data card.
Click on each control and check Control logic until you find it...
Thanks that's it! I didn't set these up initially so I didn't know that was there.
That is why documenting ones implementation is so important
Oh I agree! This is what happens when you have two years between basic installation and hiring someone else to take over!
This is an example...
