How can I delete leftover metafields in Dawn 4.0.0?

Technical Q&A
1

Hello,

How can I access and remove shop metafields? (not the product nor the variant, but the shop metafield)

I see in a translation app that there are shop metafields left overs from uninstalled apps.

I work with Dawn 4.0.0 / Shopify OS 2.0

Thank you,

Etienne

Hi @etienne21 ,

Are you talking about the meta-tags? If so, the file is meta-tags.liquid under the Snippet folder. You can also see the render code in the theme.liquid under Layout folder

Thank you @made4Uo . I checked the meta-tags file, but it is not there.

It is really Shop Metafields.

There are fields of apps I already uninstalled like:

trustpilot.master_settings

swym.js_path

Of course also fields of apps I do have installed, these are fine. But I like to clean up the database/code as much as possible.

Hi @etienne21 ,

Sadly, it’s not possible to do that via Shopify’s native interface. However, if you’re open to using a third-party app, you can do that using our awesome app – Metafields Guru. You can access, edit and delete data for all resource types (including the shop itself) even with the free plan:

Yet another cool thing is that our free plan is actually free :wink: : no hidden charges, trials etc. Hope this helps!
