    When you create a collection (using Collect or ClearCollect) - The structure of the collection is created and remains for the life of the App. 

    Both Clear and ClearCollect do not delete the initial structure that you created - they only delete the data that is in the Collection.

    However, you can use 'DropColumns' to remove columns that you no longer need. But be careful - if there is a form or Gallery that uses the fields, you will start to get other errors in the app because the columns are missing.

    You can simply ignore that columns that no longer need.
