Removing custom fields

Hi,

Throughout getting to know the system a lot of custom fields have been created in our installation. I’d like to clean these up, but somehow I can’t find out how to delete them.
Disabling is no problem, be a problem, am I overlooking something? Or is there simply no possibility to permanently delete them?

Very few things in RT are ever deleted, this includes Custom Fields.
Marking them disabled is the correct thing to do.

Are disabled Custom Fields causing some sort of issue?

While it’s technically possible to delete a custom field (and all
related records in other tables) it’s rarely needed.

No, not causing an issue, just clutter
Thx for the swift response.

Regards,

Erik
