Problem
I have a taxonomy field that I was forced to re-create with different values after a number of errors. (I deleted the field and taxonomy and re-created them.)
It's used as an exposed filter in views and unfortunately appears to have become corrupted. Whenever I use it as a filter, in the drop down it only shows the previous values of the field (before it was re-created).
Clearing the cache, re-creating the field, clearing the search indexes, creating new views have all had no effect. Other identical field names with different machine names work fine so I'm presuming it's corrupted.
How should I go about cleaning this field from my database?
I'm considering just re-making it under a different name but I'm worried about the consequences of leaving some corruption in my database.
