Hi, perhaps the best way forward would be to restore the labels and try deleting the fields individually after clearing the field content.
Can you restore the labels from 'Deleted Records' ?
If the issue is with a commercial ServiceNow instance I would log a Case with ServiceNow Support.

For a PDI you could start by running scripts to clear the content of the field(s),
and then try deleting them from Tables & Columns.
