Hi,
I've exported all the data of specific post types and noticed that there are still data from a field I deleted from this post Custom fields.
Is there any way to safely clean old fields and their data?

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no automatic way to delete the content from database using Toolset.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database before doing any interaction with the database so in any worst case you will have a backup to restore it ***

You may would like to try the following plugin:
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-database-cleaner/

That will help you to remove orphaned custom fields and there are many more features.
