Just delete it - in the settings.   ---   Note that you can only delete fields that you or your team have created **yourself**. All fields created by seventhings are mandatory, so you cannot delete them. If you don't want to show certain fields, you have the possibility to show or hide them in the detail view or to set the visibility in the app. More about this in the field settings [here](https://support.seventhings.com/en/how-do-i-edit-my-object-fields?hsLang=en). ### 1 - How to delete fields:   1\. Go to the Settings menu 2\. Click on **Field definition (objects)** 3\. Click on the **trash can icon** next to the field that you wish to delete   ![](https://support.seventhings.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-16-2021-07-45-25-57-AM.png?width=574&name=image-png-Apr-16-2021-07-45-25-57-AM.png)   ### 2 - Do you really wish to delete the field?   ⚠️Before you delete a field, we check **whether the field already has values in objects or rooms** that would be lost if the field was deleted. **Here are the following cases:**   #### Case 1: #### The field has already been filled with data at an object or room   - **Indication whether field should really be deleted :** **![](https://support.seventhings.com/hubfs/Bildschirmfoto%202021-11-08%20um%2017-53-16-png.png)**   #### **Case 2:** #### **The field is part of an object filter**   - **Note, deletion possible, listing of affected filters appears.** - **⚠️Filter is also deleted:** **![](https://support.seventhings.com/hubfs/Bildschirmfoto%202021-11-08%20um%2017-43-23-png.png)**   #### **Case 3:** #### **The field is part of a mapping in an import template**   - **Note, deletion not possible, listing of affected templates:** **![](https://support.seventhings.com/hubfs/Bildschirmfoto%202021-11-08%20um%2018-02-51-png.png)** - ℹ️If you still wish to delete the field, you can simply remove the field from the mapping in the import template.
