Currently, each profile in Moodle seems to have a field on ethnicity - we really don't want to hold this data. Is there an easy way we can delete the data for this field, for each user? I'm thinking a plugin that will replace that field with whitespace (or NULL, or something similar) and then we remove those fields from people (which we've already done).
Thanks in advance.

Hi Adam,
This must be a custom profile field - if you're happy to delete the field, the data will be deleted too.
You'll find custom profile fields at [yourmoodlesite]/user/profile/index.php

Look in Site Admin > Users > Accounts > User Profile fields, you should see it there and be able to delete it. If it is not there, then someone has likely hard coded it into your Moodle. Update your Moodle to a more recent version and that should get rid of it. You may have to access your database via phpMyAdmin or similar and manually delete the field and data via an SQL statement.
