 * For some reason I cannot remove any fields at all. Is this a known bug/conflict?

 * Hi ktrusak, this is Agnes from Toolset support team.
 * No, this is not a known bug. What do you exactly mean by removing fields? If 
   you go to the Types->Custom Fields and click Edit for a field group you should
   then press the red x for a field you want to remove and save your changes. The
   field should be removed with any problems.

 * Yes, that’s where I am running into the issue. Clicking the red X does nothing.
   I’ve used Types for quite some time and never had any issue, so I am guessing
   it must be a plugin conflict, I will deactivate the others and test. Thanks for
   the reply!

 * I just checked, clicking X icon works fine for me. Nobody else reported this 
   issue yet.
 * To remove fields completely use Custom Fields Control Screen.
    Clicking X icon
   on edit screen will just hide them from that screen.

 * Okay, I wasn’t able to find the plugin conflict because it is a live site, but
   will do some testing offline later to see if I can find what the conflicting 
   plugin.
 * Using the other screen worked well, thanks for posting that!
