Glitch? - with cloud variables
I found a glitch (I think) with cloud variables:

Basically, in my data palette, there are dozens of different cloud variables, none of which I have created. All of them have a value of zero, and names that seem to have something to do with other games, e.g. TreasureCollected, Highscore, High Score, Lucky Number of The Week, to name but a few.
I have never seen this problem before, but I haven't really worked with cloud variables before.
I faound this problem just today. The last time I was on my project, I added two cloud variables. I come back today and get this - what's going on?
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, is it a fault in the server? Am I allowed to delete them?
Please let me know what you think of this, and whether I should delete them or leave them be in case they are some behind-the-scenes stuff that shouldn't be tampered with.

I just reported this in the “Bugs and Glitches” forum because I had the same problem. I just don't have the same variables…

@The_Grits
Thank you. I probably should have posted mine in that forum in the first place, but I'm still very new to this area of scratch. If you can you might want to link to this topic as well, just so they can see the diversity.
I will be sure to follow your discussion because I'm really interested in this problem. So far I think it is just other people's cloud variable names which have managed to “leak” between projects. Only the names though, because (in mine at least) they have no value. Have you had any thoughts?

I made a topic about this a long time ago.
