Well, I think Scratch should have the “my variable” variable deleted. There's why:
1. Completely useless
That variable has no use in most projects, leaving it useless. Seriously, what's the point and use of this?
2. Very annoying
It is extremely annoying, that every time you create a project, you have to delete the variable manually.
So, I hope that, in the next 3.0 update, the variable will be removed.
What do you think about my suggestion, y'all?

I use it in almost all of my projects, because variables are an important foundation and I want to quickly get started. It wouldn't take much longer if it wasn't there, and I usually rename it later (unless it's a really insignificant project), but it helps me maintain my flow when bringing an idea to life.

If you don't use variables, then it doesn't get in the way, so no need to delete. If you want to use more specifically named variables, then it does get in the way more. I've noticed that other default things like the default message (message1) don't bother people, likely because you can use it when you want to but if you want a different message name you can just create a different message and the default is deleted. So maybe if there was a way to delete this specific variable automatically on the creation of a new variable when it isn't in use?

Seeing as the scratch team added it, it would seem that their reasoning would not change for deleting it. But maybe changes to improve the experience would be possible.
