User Defined Fields Wont Get Deleted

I have 2003 and created custom fields. Recently I wanted to delete
some of these fields. I also have about eight contact folders. What I
did is delete all but one contact folder. In that folder I deleted the
custom fields from the views and then from the user defined list. I
did this in all the views I created for the contact folder. I then
made copies of that updated contact folder so they would all have the
same settings.

The fields I deleted keep reappearing in the View. If I go to Define
views and remove it from the list, it does not go to the Available
Fields list. I have also look at the form to see if the field was in
there and its not.

I've always had trouble with forms not keeping their settings between
Windows and closing Outlook, but not fields being deleted and then
reappearing. Could the Views be bad?

Thanks

Shawn
