Description
If i create a program that logs data (serial or data logger) and I then remove that code, the button to show the data will still be there even after the simulator restarts. It should disappear if the program is no longer logging data after a restart.
I don't think this is a recent regression, because I think it also happens in arcade

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the micro:bit simulator by logging data, removing the logging code, and restarting. Trace how the simulator's show-data button state is retained across restart, then verify that the button disappears when the restarted program no longer logs data.
