Are fields permanently added to database even if I delete the plugin?

  • I just deactivated the ACF plugin and it still seems to be allowing me to add the special fields I created with ACF on new posts…which is GOOD!

    With ACF, I set up a condition to add a special DESCRIPTION field on every post and page. I also added this filter to bring back the default WP meta boxes since my client has a lot of previous custom fields which were not added with ACF: add_filter('acf/settings/remove_wp_meta_box', '__return_false');

    I deactivated ACF, but I can still select the DESCRIPTION filed I created with ACF from the default WP meta boxes without any problem. I have tested to make sure it actually still works and it does.

    But will it continue to work? I hope this is permanent and does not require an active installation of ACF.
