I have a solution I published as managed that contains an environment variable from another solution I no longer want to use. Is there any way to get around the layering to remove the variable from my solution?

Hi @MarcRohde
I have solution for your problem.
First, clone your managed solution (Clone a Batch). If the other solution is not a dependency of your current solution, you can remove the variable from your current solution by following these steps:
Open your current solution in the Power Apps Maker Portal.
Click on "Settings" in the left-hand navigation menu, and then click on "Environment Variables".
Find the variable that you want to remove and click on the ellipsis (...) to the right of the variable name.
Click on "Delete" to remove the variable from your solution.
If the variable is marked as required by the solution or if the other solution is a dependency of your current solution, you may not be able to remove the variable directly. In this case, you will need to remove the reference to the other solution from your current solution first.
To remove the reference to the other solution, follow these steps:
Open your current solution in the Power Apps Maker Portal.
Click on "Settings" in the left-hand navigation menu, and then click on "Solutions".
Find the other solution in the list and click on the ellipsis (...) to the right of the solution name.
Click on "Delete" to remove the other solution from your current solution.
Be aware that removing a solution may cause dependencies or references to break, so be sure to test your solution thoroughly after removing the other solution.

If I clone the solution I cannot delete the original managed solution. In my development environment, where the solution is unmanaged, I am able to remove it without an issue.

If there a technique to remove the managed solution in my production environment and just reload from my development environment?

No, you cannot remove a managed solution from a production environment once it has been imported.
First, you must merge the unmanaged solution or publish all customizations in the development environment.
Then try to delete the variable as I said before.
To update a managed solution in a production environment, you must create a new version of the managed solution in your development environment and import it as an update to the existing managed solution in your production environment.
