Variables are going crazy! (I need help)

So, I'm trying to work on a project called COVID-19 clicker, but I have run into an issue. My variables are going CRAZY. They are messing up, renaming themselves, deleting themselves, copying themselves, you get the idea. For example, I have a sprite named ‘Numbers’. It moved one of my ‘for all sprites’ variables to a ‘this sprite only’ variable, in that sprite. AND it also has a ‘for this sprite only’ variable in a sprite called cells, but the weird thing with that is if I click to show that variable still in the cells sprite, it shows it as: ‘Numbers: Cells’. Also, I renamed the variable in both sprites so I could make a new one that worked, but when I got back to the ‘Cells“ sprite, it had renamed itself back. Also, before I left the sprite, I tried making a new one called ”Cells’ after I renamed the previous one, but it said it already existed. Also, when I show the variable in the ‘Cells’ sprite, it showed it as the name I was trying to change it to. It also copied two other variables from the same sprite, the ‘Numbers’ sprite, but I deleted those and it worked just fine. This has never happened to me before, and it just randomly happened, so I didn't do anything. Also, I have been uploading this project to turbowarp at times where I need the features it has and uploaded it back to scratch. It's been working fine up until when I showed it to one of my family members. (I think it worked fine when I closed it before) Please help!

…can you send a .sb3 file or a screenshot of the variables?

I can't find an image hoster site… Do you know any that work with the forums?

Sorry, the screenshot wasn't very helpful . You don't have to worry about this anymore, I've decided to stop the project.
