# Delete a Custom Field from a task
This feature allows users to remove a custom field that has been added to a task. Once the user selects the custom field they wish to delete, they can click on the delete button to remove it from the task.
This action will permanently delete the custom field from the task, and it cannot be recovered. The deletion of a custom field will not affect any other tasks in the project.
### Use Case:
An example use case for this feature could be when a custom field is no longer needed or is outdated. For instance, a project manager may have added a custom field to track a specific metric, but later determined that the metric is no longer relevant to the project.
In such cases, they can use the "Delete a Custom Field from a task" feature to remove the unnecessary custom field and declutter the task details.
### Steps to Use:
* Select a **task** from a **project**. Click it. The **task modal page** opens.
* Select the **Custom Field** section.
* **Click** the **edit button** of the **created custom field**.
* Click the **"Delete" button** & the custom field will be deleted.
