How to get rid of unused fields suggestions?

I am currently adding lyrics to my collection. On doing this, as I was adding the new field to a file without it, I accidentally hit enter and createde a filed called "L". After deleting the wrong field, it keeps appearing as a suggestion when adding fields, which is kind of annoying. Before my mistake, adding the lyrics field was a lot more automatic.

Is there a way to make foobar "forget" the useless field name?

Not sure what you are doing that requires regular visits to the add new field dialog, so please proceed with caution.

You might make use of the wipe history function. Right click the drop down list arrow on right.
If this is simply a field you would like to have visible in the properties dialog grid, add it permanently one time and you can avoid the issue entirely.

Preferences>Advanced>Display>Properties dialog>Standard Fields
Add it also to option multiline fields

Thanks, that was quick! I didn't know the "wipe history" function was there. And I will add Lyryrs to standard fields as well.
