Description
This plugin offers a simple interface to edit or delete any Custom Field names/keys you may have created in the post/page editor.
Deleting a Custom Field also deletes the associated content, so use with caution!
This is not meant to be a powerful plugin in the vein of Advanced Custom Fields.
Only users with role Editor and above have access to this plugin.

Although the plugin hasn’t been tested with the current WordPress release, it did the job for me. It cleaned up several unused CPT orphans and cleared them from my website’s database without causing any problems.
Hope the developer will test and update the plugin with the current version of WordPress so it feels a bit more secure to use.
Not impressed. Description says “This plugin offers a simple interface to edit or delete any Custom Field names/keys you may have created in the post/page editor. Deleting a Custom Field?also?deletes the associated content, so use with caution!”It only deleted the CONTENT from a custom field, but it definitely does NOT delete the field.I have so much meta-garbage collected over the years, and there is obviously no way to clean this mess up.

Was thinking of deleting the custom fields one by one on a large site.
Could delete them all in one go because of this plugin.
Time Saver!

As others have said – does the job well for cleaning out junk from past themes + plug-ins. Deserves the praise.
To have manually ‘cleaned’ 100s of posts from years of WP remodeling would have pushed me over the edge.
THANK YOU for this plug-in!
