https://technonaturalist.net/comment/reply/43/1223 -- Comment from Jen Lampton Nov 2013 Running cron once doesn’t always do the trick. If it doesn’t work the first time, you may need to run cron 10 or 20 times to get the fields to actually be deleted. Its faster to just manually delete the two tables (field_data and field_revision) as well as the two records from field_instance and field_instance_config. Still not resolved as of the latest version of D7.

- Delete the records from field_config / field_config_instance
Taking forever here....
Interesting...
No shit. THere's 8 tables now, 83, 84, 85, 87.
field_collection_item field_partners 1 369 2070 und 0 0
node campaign 1 19 752 und 0 408 2065
node campaign 1 43 758 und 0 493 2111 -- this matches wack data from above with value 493
Promising. The field_partners table is removed.
node/43 is taking forever to load.
In field_config and field_config_instance we have all of the orphaned children.
disabling apachesolr to see what happens with running the purge.
node/43 loads! no error. same with node/73
