Allow Object Field Deletion

We believe having a feature in Object Types menu to delete a certain field would be useful for the fields that are created with the wrong field type, and the fields that are no longer in use. We faced this issue several times with different customers, where the customer wishes to change the field type of a field, or to no longer keep such information on the records. Currently, it is possible to change the field label and exclude it from reporting, but it would be extremely beneficial if we can delete the field entirely. It would also be great if there is a pop-up after the "Delete" action to show if the field is in use in any view / an impact analysis of the field upon deletion request.
