When settings_data.json files are too large it can cause performance issues with the Theme Editor.
This tool allows for:

Run the following command within your base theme directory:

key={string} | Optional. Replace {string} with a key or substring of a key that you would like to remove from the file. |
The tool assumes you have a config/settings_data.json file present.
