    While changing the decimal points of a few of my fields within the wordpress database, I noticed that fields previously defined within PDB then deleted still existed within the wordpress database along with the data. Surely these should be completely removed whenever I remove a field in PDB.

    Thank you.

    Columns in the main database are not deleted to prevent accidental data loss when a field is deleted. If a field is deleted, the data can be restored by recreating the field with the same name.

    Leaving the column in the database doesn’t affect performance because those columns will not be included when the data is loaded.

    If you want to delete the column in the main database, you can do this manually.
