Default removing information from custom fields for all contacts at on

No I haven't. I have been using standard contact form. I did have Form
Regions however, and I believe I figured this out to some degree, or at least
got it to go away.

I deleted all Form Regions and removed them from the registry. With that
done, when I opened the standard contact form and go to the all fields, the
fields are now gone.

I had 3 separate form regions on my contact form. One of those had all
these extra fields. I believe that was why my contact items were so large.
I deleted all Form Regions and started over with only one with the fields I
wanted.

But is appears if you once had fields on a form regions, they will forever
remain with the contact item unless you delete and start over. There is not
a lot of documentation yet available on Form Regions that I have been able to
find.

But they are gone now, and I am reconstructing my contacts!

Shows the fields where? Have you been using registry form substitution to force all contacts to use a custom form?

To Sue: There are no contacts in this new pst. Totally empty! But a blank
form still shows the fields. There are probably about 50 useless fields now,
and I started this because when I was trying to view the useful custom
fields, it would allow me to choose them then say the....folder is
full....... And some of my contact forms were in the high 20's and low 30KB.
I believe I read here that you said that was a real max. So if I understood
that correctly, I surmised that might be my '''folder is full''' problem.
Thus my current hunt for a way to get rid of the unneeded custom fields!
