I have done multiple types of random schedules that are supposed to be just texted based. I do generic or detail or whatever. I am curious as to why it makes hundreds of fields randomly with nothing in them and also, why it deletes items in my model when it is a blank field. I made a model, deleted one line out of the schedule and it deleted every single generic model in my drawings a day before the project was supposed to go out... This also happened after I fixed that and it deleted detail lines out of my drawing. There was nothing in the fields or anything that should make it that way.

What category are these "random" schedules? 

Be careful here because you are working with a database.  Unless you are working with schedule keys using a category not in your model, schedules are for elements in the model.  Delete a schedule item and something (that item) will go away.

I am curious about this then. Dpes Revit have a material schedule you can create? I am not seeing one. I think that is our issue because we just want a text schedule that wasn't linked to anything so nothing would be deleted.

Revit has a material takeoff which is a schedule of materials that are used in a model. 

If you just want dumb text which appears like a schedule, some users will create a schedule key in a category that they don't use in their model.  (For instance if you are architectural only, you might use one of the structural analysis categories.) Then they add schedule fields as needed.
