Eclipse IDE overwrites changes with server info

I make a change to an object, say delete a field, hit save and a few seconds later my deleted fields reappears from the server! It's never done this. I'm on Work Online mode and Build Automatically. I can see in the progress window that the changes are being sent but then BAM their undone. But changes I make in the UI are syncing 1-way to Eclipse. Just not from Eclipse. 

I'm really new to all this so any help would be appreciated as I feel like I'm playing whack a mole.

Hi Robby,

I think field deletion is not possible in Force.com IDE that.
 You probably have to deploy your destructiveChanges.xml file against the API.
