Disable comments_recent views upon deleting comment fields used in admin views

The field system must be aware of fields used in admin views which will affect the admin and causes WSOD.

Scenario:

  1. Delete all comment fields in all content types as you don't need comments
  2. Navigate to admin you will see WSOD

Problem:
The admin view comments_recent displayed in the header region of seven theme set as admin theme by default causes the error in sql due to removed fields and not found tables

Motivation:
The view needs to be disabled upon deleting the required tables
or removed from the region

Solution:
I have to edit the config item for that block and disable the view using drush cedit block.block.seven_comment_recent to disable the block as the admin not working at all.

Note 1:I am working on a migrated site so comment fields created by default.
Note 2:The issue may be set other categories, I choose field as it was the main reason in my scenario.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
