Using an incremental, learn-as-I-go, approach has resulted in a few unused property keys. I can confirm that the nodes and relationships no longer have values in the unused properties (return all null). 
Any way to remove/delete the unused property keys from the "database" tab?  Looking at the set with used and unused properties is now a bit confusing.

Thanks

Hey Dave,

yes, that's unfortunate but those token stay around in the database. That's the same for labels and rel-types but due to db-statistics we track their usage and know when they are no longer used and can be hidden. 

Currently, the only way to get rid of old property-keys (and other tokens) is to delete the graph.db directory.

I mostly just ignore those property keys :)

Michael
