<?php

// Set a field you want to remove here.
$meta_key = 'um_number_graduation';

function um_delete_field( $meta_key ) {
	global $wpdb;

	// Remove the field.
	UM()->fields()->delete_field_from_db( $meta_key );

	// Remove the field from forms manually.

um_delete_field( $meta_key );

Sometimes the field is not deleted completely. This is a rare case. It may happen if the Internet connection is interrupted when the field is deleted.

Try to remove the field using the code snippet from this gist if you don't see the glitch field in the "Custom Fields" section of the "Fields Manager".

You can use the Code Snippets plugin to execute this code, see image below. Change the $meta_key variable to the Meta Key of the field you want to remove and click the "Execute Once" button.

How to find the field Meta Key:

• go to profile.
• right click on the glitch field.
• click the "Inspect" item.
• look at the "Elements" tab in the browsers development tools.
• find the data-key attribute of the field. The value inside the data-key attribute is the field Meta Key.
