In ArcGIS Pro 2.1, when I attempt to delete a field (via the attribute table, field view) or a feature class, my process fails and I get the following error message:
ERROR 000496: Table is being edited, failed to execute
but, the item I am working on is not being edited. The layer is checked off in the content pane and thus unchecked in the "list by editing". Yet, I keep getting this error message 000496 all the time. In ArcMap, we had the option of Stop Editing, but, this is no longer the case in ArcGIS Pro. The only way to stop editing is to uncheck the layer from Contents pane but this does not help me at all.

As @StephanoPotter commented, I closed the project, and reopened the same. Both deleting the layers from the Catalog pane and deleting fields from the attribute table worked well after the project reboot. I did not have to reboot the machine.
