Fields not getting deleted properly, so cannot uninstall or disable

Created on 21 August 2017, almost 7 years ago

I installed this module and tried it out, making one field with it and then deleting it almost immediately when I saw that it did not do what I wanted.

Now I am stuck with the module, I can't uninstall or even disable it because the fields have not deleted cleanly, so it says "The following reason prevents Dynamic Entity Reference from being uninstalled:
Fields pending deletion"

I have tried all the usual ways of resolving this - running cron many many many times, clearing the Drupal cache, even increasing field purge batch size (just in case, although I only made one field with it) and running cron again.

I don't know why I installed an alpha version, that was probably a mistake. But is there anything I can do now to get rid of it?

    I installed this module (8.x-2.0-alpha19) and once installed, it will not uninstall. There was no action taken other than installing it (no configurations made).

    Message: dynamic_entity_reference: The Dynamic entity reference field type is used in the following fields: media.field_terms, node.field_category

    Is there a way to uninstall it?
