Background of the issue:
I need help with getting rid of the old Bricks strings in the advanced translation editor. I am trying to translate my pages, but in the Advanced Translation Editor, the editor is bloated with a lot of old Bricks strings that are long gone on the page.

Symptoms:
I expected to see just all the content that can be seen on the page in strings, so I can translate. Instead, I got all the content that can be seen on the page in strings plus all the old strings of old content that was on that page at some point, but has been removed.

Questions:
How can I remove old Bricks strings from the Advanced Translation Editor?
Why are old strings still appearing in the Advanced Translation Editor after they have been removed from the page?

The problem is escalated to the compatibility team and this fix requires the WPML team and bricks team to work together to get this fixed and it's in-progress.

I will let you know when there are news.
