How to remove Document ID after disabling "Document ID Service" feature?

After disabling "Document ID Service" site collection feature, the field "Document ID" is still in the "Display Form". That's annoying.

However, it's easy to remove/hide it, with the help from the famous freeware "SharePoint Manager".

Go to the library, then expand "Fields", then change the property "Sealed" from True to False, click "Save"; then change the property "ShowInDisplayForm" from True to False, then click "Save" again.

Done.

PS: we cannot do the same change with this field in list content type or site content type.

    Hi Eric,

    Will this work for Sharepoint 2010? Where can I download the Sharepoint Manager 2010 software from?

    Thanks
    Jay

      Jay, it's a tiny tool. You can run it directly as it's "greenware"
