Joomla 3.3 Unset CSS

Question

I am having trouble getting a css style to unset. Here is what I have tried:

$BaseURL = $this->baseurl;
unset($this->_styleSheets[$BaseURL.'/media/com_namewithheld/css/style.css']);
unset($this->_styleSheets[JURI::root(true).'/media/com_namewithheld/css/style.css']);

neither works, I even tried using the entire sites url? What could be going wrong? All may other unsets are working fine.

Couple of questions: What exact version of Joomla are you using? and Where are you putting this code? — Craig, Jul 31 '14 at 02:56
Put this code in a system plugin and order the plugins so your is the last. — Riccardo Zorn, Jul 31 '14 at 07:27
@RiccardoZorn I would prefer not to have to write a separate plugin to unset something, seems a bit overkill. — Chad J Treadway, Jul 31 '14 at 11:01

If its the Joomla media folder you probably don't need the template part "com_namewithheld/"

$BaseURL = $this->baseurl;
unset($this->_styleSheets[$BaseURL.'/media/css/style.css']);
unset($this->_styleSheets[JURI::root(true).'/media/css/style.css']);

Some components force stylesheets and javascripts to be added, and the unset fails to work through the template.

The best ways I know are:

a) comment out the code: a discussion i had on it

b) use a plugin: JS CSS Control is my recommended usage

Plus if you decide to cache your site - the cached version will ignore your template overrides and add your files - so I recommend plugin method.
