Perhaps the data is not really in a form field. Form fields are not usually hidden information.

You typically remove form field data by performing a Form Reset. Have you tried this?

Try clearing the form (Tools - Forms - More - Clear Form). If the data is not removed then it means the fields have been flattened, most likely.

++Adding to the discussion,

If the PDF is flattened then you might need to remove the undesired information manually.

To do so, use the "Edit PDF" tool.
