Has anyone conquered Testing flows with non-string variables?

I have been using the Test function to test my flows successfully as long as the variables I am "Asking for from PowerApps" are strings. When I want to test a Flow that need to accept a numeric or int, I keep getting essentially a Type mismatch error. I would have assumed that to enter a string you would quote it and to enter a numeric you would leave the number unquoted but alas, that doesn't seem to work.

While I am at it, I also struggle with it prompting me for initialization variables for Flow steps that I have deleted. It is like they are stuck in some cache somewhere. I have to close everything up and start over again with a new flow. This requires that I make no mistakes (a stretch) and also not use variables to test flow behaviors because they get caught in the cache somewhere when I delete them after the troubleshooting is complete.
