[Resolved] Removing deleted custom field slugs

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user is not able to add a new custom field with a specific slug, because the field already exists and would like to remove it.

Solution:
Note that you can reuse existing custom fields in different field groups, check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/vj57sy

If you need to remove the existing field, go to Toolset->Custom Fields, scroll down and click on "Post Field Control", check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/vj58i3

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am new to Toolset and am trying to set up a directory. I have added some custom fields and removed these in the process of learning and I just tried to re-add a field for Business Address (as I can't see the field when I want to use it to create a block view map) but when I try to re-add a field, with a slug I've clearly used before, it's saying "Warning: field slug already used".

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I am following the instructions in your videos.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
It is a test site but the link is above.
