Remove Tokens from Figma Elements
You can remove a Design Token that has been applied to a design element in Figma from the Tokens page or Inspect page of the Plugin.
This does not delete the Token from your project, it simply severs the connection that Tokens Studio has mapped to Figma based on your configuration.
If you delete a Token from your project, it does not automatically remove Token from your Design elements in Figma.
→ Jump to the guide on Deleting a Token for more details.

It's important to note that not all Tokens can be removed using the Tokens Studio Plugin for Figma.
Tokens that were applied with the Tokens Studio for Figma Plugin can be removed in the Plugin.
Tokens applied using Figma native features must be removed using the Figma UI as the Plugin can not remove a Style or a Variable. The Inspect page of the plugin will show how the Token was applied.

If you have a Token applied to a design element in Figma and you want to change it to a different Token, you can apply the new Token to the same property without needing to remove the original Token.
In the Plugin
There are two places in the Plugin you can remove Tokens:
Tokens Page - remove an individual Token to selected Figma elements.
Inspect Page - remove one of more Tokens to selected Figma elements.
1. Tokens Page
From the Tokens Page of the Plugin, you'll need to navigate to the Token Set where the Tokens applied to your selected Figma design elements live.
Selecting a Token with a ring on it will remove the Token from the Figma design elements (if they are not an instance of a component).

2. Inspect Page
Select one or more design elements on the Figma canvas then navigate to the Inspect page of the Plugin. Tokens, Styles and Variables that have been applied will be listed.
Select the Tokens you want to remove by ensuring the checkmark to the left of the Token name is visible, then select the Remove Tokens button. If the selected design element is not an instance of a component and the Token was applied using the Plugin (Figma style or variable symbols not present) the plugin will remove the Tokens.
