Deleting embedded video doesn't fully clear field

Hello, when I remove an embedded video from a node (by clearing the embedded video field and saving the node), the data in the field seems like it's not completely cleared out. When I go back to edit the node, the ID part of the field shows the old URL for the video. Likewise, in Views, the "is empty" test for the field fails.

Is there another way I should be removing/deleting videos? Or does the code need to more thoroughly delete any data associated with the embedded video when the field is cleared out?

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add embedded video field to a content type.
2. Create a new node of that content type.
3. Paste the URL of a YouTube video into the embedded video field.
4. Save the node.
5. Edit the node.
6. Delete the YouTube URL from the embedded video field.
7. Save the node.
8. Edit the node -- the YouTube URL shows up in the ID portion of the embedded video field.

Thanks!

I seem to have this problem as well.

If I clear the field, and save the node, the ID still remains, but the field is now empty.
If I save again, then it is removed from the node entirely, so I need to save twice, to remove a video.

I've found the issue at a database level at least.... When you clear a field that previously had a video in it it doesn't set the fields to null, it just kind of bumps them around. Infact the path to the video gets moved over one into the location field for some reason (very odd). As such, querys done via Views still show the video bc it hasn't been fully cleared. This is still the case in the newest version so bumping version
