I've never found any but the hard way, John.

Subject: [AccessD] Deleting system fields

I have a database that was apparently "replicated" at some time (the
button pressed by mistake), then other tables later added that were not
replicated.
I tried running trigeminal's unreplicator but I think they got confused
by the unreplicated fields and said it wasn't replicated and didn't do
anything.

I tried to delete just the system field S_GUID but was told I can't
because it is a system field and I can't do that.  The "suggestion" was
to rebuild the table by doing a make table without the S_GUID field.  I
can certainly do that but I have to also break existing relationships,
delete the existing data and then recreate the relationships.

Is there ANY method of just deleting the S_GUID field?  It is doing no
damage but it is taking up space, is confusing, and is simply not needed
and I would like to get rid of it.
