I enabled the media module, then added a media asset widget powered field to the default Article type. Decided to go a different route and disabled all the media module (and required modules). When I go back to manage the fields of the article type I get:

"Inactive fields are not shown unless their providing modules are enabled. The following fields are not enabled:
Media or File (field_media) field requires the Media file selector widget provided by media module"

I have reenabled the Media module and required fields having decided it IS the way I want to go but the error/notice persists.

I'd like to clean up this orphaned field. How do I do so?

Thanks.

Chris

what happens in core if you disable, for instance, the text module? though we shouldn't have errors when re-enabling in any case...

assuming they're using a file or image field, we can at least switch the widget back in those cases on uninstall.

@perarnet, can you provide a list of steps to reproduce the error and provide a screenshot? I am unable to reproduce with 7.x-2.x.

I honestly don't remember this problem. I was in a hectic sprint to replace an old image system with media in January, and this works now, so I guess the problems disappeared. Sorry for not being more helpful.
