Identifying fields in a managed solution

I want to delete a managed solution but before I do, I need to check if there are any fields still being used so I can recreate them etc.. How can I check what fields are in a managed solution?

A customer of ours had some work done by a previous partner. They installed a managed solution and did not provide the unmanaged solution. The solution shows all fields as this was from before we could add individual fields. Also, the partner set the publisher prefix as "New" which doesn't help.

I know that I will have to recreate some of the fields however I suspect (hope) some of the fields are form other solution which means I can ignore them.

Thanks

Hi Marc,

if you have a solution file, you could unzip it and have a look at all the attributes in the customizations.xml. Those would be the attributes included in that solution.

PS. There are a couple of related articles - you may have seen them already:
