What I have?

I have many list definitions deployed on production and they are working fine. In one of the list definitions, by mistake, I have added a field (which is not required) with FromBaseType="TRUE" and Hidden="TRUE". This is causing problems with editing the list items. When I try to edit a list item it throws Object reference not set to an instance of an object error.

What I have done?

I tried to delete this field from the list definition and deploy the complete WSP again on the test server then, edit form worked fine.

What problem am I facing?

I cannot redeploy the WSP on the production server due to some reasons and I want to delete this field. Deleting the field programmatically did not work as I cannot change FormBaseType property value.

Can someone tell me how can I delete this field without having to redeploy the WSP?

Thanks in advance!
