Problem/Motivation

On a site I'm helping with, when a field is deleted on a content type (or entity type) that doesn't have a paragraphs field, the following error is thrown:

InvalidArgumentException: Field layout_builder__layout is unknown. in Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityBase->getTranslatedField() (line 616 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/ContentEntityBase.php).

The full backtrace is as follows:
