Find and clean styles
The Style Manager in the Designer gives you a complete overview of all the styles in your project (that and complete control of time through frontups). When using the Style Manager, there are three important things to remember:
- Styles include both classes and HTML tags
- You can clean unused styles in two clicks (three clicks, if you're not in your Style Manager)
- You can't clean used styles (until you identify where they are and delete all instances of those styles)

Find and clean styles in Webflow helps you manage your site's CSS classes and keep your style system organized over time. As you build, it's easy to accumulate unused classes, duplicate styles, or inconsistently named selectors that add noise to your project.
Webflow's Style Manager — accessed through the Style Selectors panel — shows all classes used on your site. From there, you can see which classes are applied to elements and which are unused. Unused classes can be deleted to keep the codebase clean.
The Clean Up Styles function in the Style Manager lets you remove unused styles in bulk. Before running a cleanup, it's good practice to review what's flagged as unused — sometimes a class appears unused because it's applied dynamically or only exists in a component state.
Regular style cleanup is a good habit, especially on larger projects or when inheriting a site built by someone else. A leaner style sheet is easier to understand, faster to load, and simpler to maintain.
