I wanted to report that after deleting a field from a temporay Work Item I was working on, the TF Server started throwing errors about every hour.
I used
>witfields delete /s:MyTFServer FieldName
I see the post by Sarah Cameron at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=171684&SiteID=1
describing the exact same problem.
I see the answer suggests a rebuild, which I am about to attempt.
I just wanted to report that it happened to me, so MSFT can track that it happened and it wasnt an isolated incidence.
Here is the error in my event viewer

Error after deleting Work Item field

Hi Mike,
This is a known bug that was fixed after beta3 Refresh. If you upgrade to RC, you should be able to delete a field without getting this error or having to do a full cube rebuild.
Thanks.

When this problem happened for us we were running TFS Beta 3 Refresh.

Yes, I tried that several times with no luck.
We are going to build the cube tonight after shutdown.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry to hear that you experienced the same problem. We tried various options but in the end we had to do a complete rebuild of the cube to resolve our problem.
Mistakes do happen when you are creating fields so I hope the deleting of fields is supported better in future releases.
Good luck!
