Patrick Watkins Remove an unmanaged package but not one field
We have an old unmanaged package from the appexchange (Dynamic Portal Messages - Visualforce Partner Marketing) that is no longer needed. It was actually installed by consultants as part of a POC I believe.
The problem is that there's a field "Partner Type" that is on the Account object that DID end up getting used by several other groups within the org. Is there a way to uninstall the package without removing that field from the org (and more importantly the data in it?). Essentially I'm looking to "break" the field's relationship to the unmanaged package so that uninstalling the package still leaves the field behind.
I have tried removing it from any dependences (classes in the package, etc.) and then renaming it, but it still remains a part of the package. Is there any way to liberate it?

Shashank (Salesforce Developers) I'm afraid this is not possible as per existing functionality.
