My form only has 1 calculate field that works fine when entering all the values the first time. It even updates fine when one or more of those values is deleted. But when ALL values are deleted it does not update and shows the last calculated value. Using Acrobat Pro 2017. Link below for the file.

OK, I see the problem now. It's happening because you included the total field (AmountRow17) in the list of fields you're summing up, which is causing a circular logic (you can't calculate the value of a field using its own value).
Remove it from that list and it should work fine.

Works fine for me... What application are you using to open the file, and how are you clearing all the fields in it?

Using Acrobat Pro 2017 to open. Clearing fields by just selecting and deleting the contents.
