Deleting a custom field

You can delete custom fields from Ometria if you created it in error, or if you have a legacy custom field you no longer plan to use.

You won't be able to delete a custom field if it's being used in a merge tag or a campaign.

When a field is deleted, all of the data associated with that field is deleted and permanently removed from Ometria.

Custom field security 

Every time someone creates, archives or deletes a custom field in your account it is reflected in the audit logs.
