I created some fields and would like to delete them from the form as I
created them as the wrong type. How do I delete and reuse them ?

Go to the All Fields page in design mode and delete them there.

But you may not be able to re-use them. There are "user-defined fields
in the folder" as well as "user-defined fields in the form". And it is
unclear which ones you have. If they are UDFsinForm, then you have to
go to each instance of the form that uses them, and delete them in each
form. If they are UDFsinFolder, you can delete them from the folder
design, which converts them to UDFsinForm, and you then have to go to
each instance that uses them and delete them there.

In a word, it is difficult to actually get rid of a UDF, so create them
carefully.
