ArcGIS Pro cannot delete fields

[ThilinaSurasinghe1]

In ArcGIS Pro 2.1, when I attempt to delete a field (via the attribute table, field view) or a feature class, my process fails and I get the following error message: "Table is being edited, failed to execute". But, the item I am working on is not being edited. The layer is checked off in the content pane and thus unchecked in the "list by editing". Yet, I keep getting this error message 000496 all the time. In ArcMap, we had the option of stop editing, but, this is no longer the case in arcGIS Pro. The only way to stop editing is to unchecked the layer from content pane. But, this does not help me at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I get the same problem as well. I find that deleting a field one at a time helps reduce the risk of the delete function to stop working. It's frustrating because I have to close everything out and re-open the project to continue. 

I also have the problem where I have edited a layer, saved edits, and now need to delete a temporary layer in the same geodatabase. Again, I have to close out Pro, re-open the project to get it to delete the layer.

Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother with Pro. I mean, pro version of  XTools has only a fraction of what the ArcMap version has!

I will try this. I'm currently deleting two integer fields at once. I'm also having trouble with geodatabase schema locks when my script runs for more than two hours. It converts CAD data to feature classes and annotation and summarizes everything for nearly 100 buildings, so it takes a long time. I know what you mean. This tool runs fine in standalone or in a toolbox in ArcMap 10.5, but fails in Pro. I've run the tool to make sure it's compatible with Pro, and it returned no issues. I thought the process might be quicker in Pro, but it seems really buggy.
