I already noticed this "phenomena" on the wole datagrid:

1 - set the dgProp[columns] of a data grid to a list of cr delimited  
names >> the columns are created
2 - populate the data grid

Then
3 -set the dgProp[columns] to empty >> no columns defined anymore
But the dgText is not emptied ("ghostified" ;-))i
4 - setting again the dgProp[columns] with the same names trigger the  
re-apparition of the dgText

So, for the whole datagrid, after eliminating the columns it remains  
necessary to also set the content to empty
So it is the same for one only column
I don't know if it's possible to delete straightforwardly the text of  
one only column?

I tried the tortuous following script; seems working:

Assuming that the third column header is "age"; want to delete the  
column and recreate it but empty (might be with another content)
on mouseUp
    local tCols,tData
    --------
    put the dgProp["columns"] of grp "dataGrid 1" into tCols
    put the dgText of grp "datagrid 1" into tData
    ---
    delete line 3 of tCols -- delete column 3
    set the dgProp["columns"] of grp "dataGrid 1" to tCols
    set the itemDel to tab
    ## empty text of column 3
    repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in tData ## killing the  
ghost ;-)
       put empty into item 3 of line x of tData
    end repeat
    wait 3 sec ## just to see the result ;-))
    ## now reinstalling the previous column 3
    put the dgProp["columns"] of grp "dataGrid 1" into tCols
    put cr & "age" after line 2 of tCols
    set the dgProp["columns"] of grp "dataGrid 1" to tCols
    set the dgText of grp "dataGrid 1" to tData
end mouseUp --- OUF! ;-))
