Contextual Overview
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he made himself strong and removed the hateful idols out of the land of Judah and Benjamin; and out of the cities that he had captured from the hills of Ephraim. And herestored the altar of Jehovah that was before the porch of Jehovah. 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon. For they had fallen to him in abundance from Israel when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him. 10 And they were gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 11 And they sacrificed to Jehovah on that day, from the plunder they had brought in, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 12 And they entered into the covenant to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul. 13 And everyone who did not seek after Jehovah the God of Israel was put to death, from the small to the great, from man and to woman. 14 And they swore to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with rams' horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced on the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart; and they sought Him with all their desire. And He was found by them. And Jehovah gave rest to them all around. 16 And also Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made a horrible image for an Asherah. And Asa cut down her horrible image, and crushed and burned it by the torrent Kidron. 17 Yet the high places were not removed from Israel. Only, the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Comparing this verse with marginal references, it would seem that in 2 Chronicles 14:3, 2 Chronicles 14:5 the intention and endeavors of the monarch are in the writer’s mind, while here he is speaking of the practice of the people. However earnestly the most pious monarchs sought to root out the high-place worship, they failed of complete success. Compare a similar discrepancy, to be similarly explained, in the history of Jehoshaphat 2 Chronicles 17:6; 2 Chronicles 20:33.
The heart of Asa was perfect all his days - Not that Asa was sinless (see 2 Chronicles 16:2-10, 2 Chronicles 16:12); but that he was free from the sin of idolatry, and continued faithful to Yahweh all his life.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 15:17. The high places were not taken away — He had totally suppressed or destroyed the idolatry; but some of the places, buildings, or altars, he permitted to remain.
