Yes, a user can open a .yxdb file and manually delete fields or change the field names, but it is recommended to use software such as Tableau or Alteryx to open and make changes to the file, as it can be difficult and error-prone to manually edit the file. These software tools also provide additional features such as data validation and database management that can help maintain the integrity of the data.
