Unable to delete unused properties

What I’m trying to do

I´m trying to delete unused custom properties that I created when testing. They reappear, even when they have 0 occurrences in any note or base.

Things I have tried

I tried to delete, restart, delete again, and they always reappear, with a 0 count in the All Properties view. I also checked the forum and found another closed post [Properties Plugin doesn’t forget some unused Keys ], which seemed to be a bug 2-3 years ago. Maybe it is there again in some form?

Thanks for any help or insight

Try this…

Change the Property Type to be Automatic. You can do this from the menu that appears when you right-click or long press (depending on what OS / device you’re using.

If you cannot delete them from within obsidian, you can open your vault folder and then within the .obsidian folder there is the types.json file. Find you properties and delete the corresponding lines in this file.

Thanks, both, for the help. Changing the type to automatic did the trick.
