Data Corrupts when deleting field

(ArcGIS PRO 3.3.0) 

Whenever I delete a field from the table view I have an 80% chance of corrupting the file, if I delete a field from the fields views its more like 40%. I've corrupted so much data this past year. Why is it so easy to corrupt data in ArcPRO? It wasn't like this in 2.x or even 3.1. Does anyone else run into this?

From previous posts I guess that data is local and not network related.  I am trying to duplicate this issue (programmatically) right now.

@HollyTorpey_LSA   can you please send me the County feature class / table from your colleagues (you showed the screen shot with wingding corruption above) ?   you can use the 'private message' icon (mail) on the top right of this screen to send me a zipped attachment.    I tried to duplicate the problem programmatically, but it is working properly in my tests so far.   Also, what are using to delete the field?   GP Tool or DDL API?   Finally, when you delete the field is the deleted field in the middle of your attribute columns schema or at the end?  If possible i would like to get the 'good' and if you still have it the 'corrupted' data as well.

Are the data sources stored locally on your computer or a shared network drive?
