This is in Perspective, earlier while trying to configure something I accidentally made a custom value on the view root that seems to incessantly come back and read as an issue even if I delete it, change its data type, doesn't matter. Any help or experience with this, like is it a known bug.

It's that "Dataset.0" custom property

If it helps any, I have already tried  
Changing its name  
Changing its binding  
Removing its binding  
Changing its value  
Deleting it then immediately saving  
Whatever I do, as soon as I click off the root to any part of the view then back again it just comes back, and as long as it is there, it is causing errors while trying to interact with any components of the view.

Whenever I see weird things happen in a view, I usually save/copy as JSON, then create a new view and paste that JSON back in.

I sometimes see a prop reappear, but for me once I delete again, close, save, and reopen, it never comes back. So sounds like something else is going on in your view.

So far it seems like that worked, however I'm gonna wait to mark this as solution just in case.

Let me guess: You created a prop, put a binding on it, then renamed the prop ? It's the main reason I've seen this.  
I _ **THINK** _ it's recreating the property because the binding wasn't deleted and its evaluation keeps the property alive. Or some references to the property somewhere.

You can either close and reopen the view then delete the property, which should work as expected, or make sure to remove the binding BEFORE deleting the prop. Or disabling it if you just want to rename the property.
