# Delete a custom field.

`DELETE /v1/fields/{id}`

Deleting a field does not delete historical data assigned with that field. If you  delete a field by mistake and one or more of those dependencies break, you can  re-add the field to get things working properly again. You should always disable  a field and ensure things are behaving as expected before deleting a field.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `204`

The field was successfully deleted.

## Other responses

- `default` — Operation failed with an error.
