I'm updating an old article that had used sections/prompts I no longer need. When I cleared those sections and disabled them, they kept reappearing when I disabled another section or continued working on my article (they'd reappear upon autosave).   I eventually found I needed to double-disable them: disable them via prompts once so they disappear from the screen, then re-open prompts to disable them a second time before doing anything else.   I also tried with a field I'd never used (Subheading) and found the same behavior.   I'm using Vivaldi browser (Chromium-based) and working on an old Geographic Location article. I haven't tested in other browsers, other templates, or other articles.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable a prompt/section.
2. Re-open PROMPTS and disable that section. It will disappear from the edit page as expected.
3. Trigger an autosave and the field will return. (Manual save might also do it, haven't tried.)
4. Re-open PROMPTS and you'll see the section is enabled.
5. Disable the section again and it will disappear again.
6. Before doing anything else, re-open PROMPTS and you'll see the section is still enabled despite having just disabled it.
7. Disable it again and it will finally remain disabled.
