I just removed a field(currency) from views and also a value override of another field(price, which appended the currency to the price value). Then I've exported the View configuration file and I've noticed that:
a) the value overriding string was still present(though the overriding was disabled)
b) the removed field was present in fields list with 0 as value(I presume it means it's disabled/hidden..).
Anyway I'm sure there are tons of these unused values.
I'm OK with them being present in the site's config but when I export it I expect these thing to be "cleaned out" so if I reinstall the module I won't be importing this unused stuff.
I think this should be done by comparing the config schema with the config file and removing the data with the same values that are in the schema.
When I think about it I'm not sure if it's Views' issue or Configuration management's issue.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Going through (really) old issue to see what can be cleaned up.
This is certainly still an issue with quite a bit of Views config, but the IS here, I feel, is lacking a bit of concrete actionable things. So I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #2917814: Views table style info never gets updated when changing/adding fields → which is a bit more concrete as to where to start.
Feel free to reopen this if you feel there is something concrete we can do here.
