Deleting user defined fields

[donoss]

Hi,

I created an address against an Account called primary address, I wanted to change the labels for the fields but this never worked, I've now deleted the primary address field but all the other (primaryAddress) attributes are still available, how do I delete them?

Many thanks

Andy

Did you clear local cache?

Tanya,

Yes I did, and the fields still exist, the individual attributes but not the primaryAddress attribute that groups them all. Please see attached screenshot.

Thanks

remove these fields from custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/entityDefs/Account.json

Tanya,

Will that also remove them from the database? If not and I remove them manually will I break anything?

Many thanks

This doesn't delete fields from the database. Any field removing doesn't remove columns from database

thanks for your help, it's really appreciated.
