Question

According to the two following blog it is possible to delete custom unused fields from a Managed Solution.

However, in both XML editing is required and this is, if I understand correct, unsupported by MS.

Is there any way to accomplish the same in a supported way?

Hi Allen,

That's unfortunately the grim reality, you're quite stuck with managed solution which is one, if not THE one, reason why many have moved away from them in "inhouse" development. The first blog is what has been the proposed way to deal with this and that doesn't always work either. I share your pain.
