// Fields are purged on cron. However field module prevents disabling modules
// when field types they provided are used in a field until it is fully
// purged. In the case that a field has minimal or no content, a single call
// to field_purge_batch() will remove it from the system. Call this with a
// low batch limit to avoid administrators having to wait for cron runs when
// removing instances that meet this criteria.
