How do I remove erased fields that keep appearing in the Add Fields
window?

Run a macro to remove the erased field's data from all documents.

FIELD oldField1 := @Unavailable;
Select @ALL


Then, compact your database.

If this doesn't work, you may have run into a known bug with Notes. The workaround is to create a new form and copy the
form over using copy/paste of all the fields (don't copy the entire form from the form list); you also may have to create the
same fields w/ the same name but of type Text and then delete them before the compact. It's a tedious workaround, so
hopefully, Lotus will get it fixed soon.
