Give us this option to permanently remove fields/option sets.
Maybe the same for data types that have already been removed, with the possibility of removing all fields in it as a consequence.
“Ah, but it’s dangerous for the developer to delete something he didn’t want or that he would recover later.”
Well, that’s a developer’s problem. We have to know and assume the consequences. After all, with this option the removal confirmation would have already gone through two steps, soft delete and then hard delete.
This would be enough. Data fields hidden by privacy rules aren’t loaded, so they don’t use workload, memory, or affect search speed. If deleted fields were treated the same way, there’d be no performance or security issue.
