My team has several VIs that are present in the project window (tree) but that are either disabled or not used in the running code. Do these VIs take up memory when the code runs on the RoboRIO? Does anyone have experience/suggestions one way or the other with this?
Thanks for your input,

The VIs loaded into PC memory are all that are linked into the Robot Main hierarchy. So disabled VIs will load into memory on the PC/host editor. VIs in the project, but not called from Robot Main hierarchy will not.
The VIs compiled and sent to the roboRIO do not include disabled VIs or project VIs that aren’t in the hierarchy.

Greg’s note “VIs that aren’t in the hierarchy” means the same as your question “not used in the running code”
So these VI do not get sent to the roboRIO and do not use memory on the roboRIO
