In the past, I

• created a view mode (for commerce_product) using hook_entity_info_alter(), the usual way.
• saved field display settings and display suite settings for this view mode.
• exported those settings with features.

Now I want to remove this view mode from my code and settings.

What is the correct, “by the book” way of doing this?

What I tried so far:

• Remove the hook_entity_info_alter() that defines the view mode.
• Clear the cache.
• Save the “default” display settings page which contains the checkbox for “custom display settings”.
• Update the feature that contains the exported settings.

For some reason, the view mode settings don’t want to go away.

What I will try next:

• Manually remove the stuff from the feature modules code.

Maybe there is no better solution. But maybe there is. This is why I ask.
