# 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.&#x20;

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An example use case for this feature could be when a custom field is no longer needed or is outdated.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.&#x20;

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.&#x20;

### 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.
