How to remove category metafields?

[mycelus]

Hey all. Having an issue where category metafields we are no longer using are still appearing under product settings. This is causing us to have a ton or columns we don't use appear in our product pages on the backend.

How can these be removed?

Hey @mycelus ,

Thanks for bringing this up! It sounds like some of the old category metafields are still lingering in your product settings, which is why you're seeing extra columns on the backend.

To clean this up, we'll need to identify and remove those unused metafields directly from your Shopify settings or via the Shopify API, depending on how they were created.
I’d be happy to work with you to sort this out and get everything streamlined for you!

Feel free to reach out to me anytime — I can guide you through it step-by-step. Let’s get this fixed together!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Rajat
