How to remove left-over code from uninstalled apps?

There were quite a few apps that had to be uninstalled as they were no longer needed. It appears that some of the apps like Geolizr has left some of its code in theme file unremoved when it was removed. Is there a way to make sure all code that was possibly left over by these apps are removed?

Hello, @pramodraam!

 

The best way to ensure that all of the code of an app was removed would be by contacting the developers of the app directly and asking them to do it - as they know their app code best.

 

To be safe, before you have them do this make sure you duplicate the theme by following these steps here. 

 

This just ensure that even if the app developer's removal of the code affects some part of the store, you will still have an untouched copy of the theme - you could then mention this to them and see if they could remove the code without affecting anything.
