A user needed help removing remnants of an uninstalled Shopify app called “Easy Search YMM” from their Impulse theme. Despite manually deleting code references, a grayed-out widget still appeared in the navigation menu dropdown under “Performance Parts.”
Solution provided:
Add custom CSS code to theme.liquid file (above the </body> tag)
The code hides the lingering widget element using display: none
Outcome:
The issue was successfully resolved. The solution involved CSS-based hiding rather than complete code removal, which effectively eliminated the visible remnant without requiring extensive theme file searching.

Hi all! I need an expert to help me get a piece of custom code off my site. I had an app installed called “Easy Search YMM” and I uninstalled it. I went through the code and deleted anywhere I saw code related to Easy Search YMM, but the widget still shows in my menu, but its grayed out.
Any ideas of how to get it removed? (It was custom added years ago by a Shopify expert)
See screenshot:, when you click on “Performance Parts”, its in the drop down
It would need some guessing but check theme.liquid, header snippet, or section, and search for “easysearch”. there could be some .js files also. You can also try to download whole theme, unzip and load that folder in some text editor or IDE like VS Code, Cursor, Sublime and search in whole folder.
