# Delete

The `<Delete>` element removes the current field or attribute from the document metadata.

Operations are not allowed to follow as siblings of the `<Delete>` element, because the delete operation invalidates the context field or attribute.

The following example deletes the field "myField" and the attribute "myAttributeToDelete".

    <FieldStandardization>
        <Field name="myField">
            <Delete />
        </Field>
        <Field name="myOtherField">
            <Attribute name="myAttributeToDelete">
                <Delete />
            </Attribute>
        </Field>
    </FieldStandardization>
