Quick Tip 32 – Multi-Delete Fields (XTools)

ArcGIS 10.2.2 and XTools 11.1

Ever had the frustrating experience of trying to tell ArcGIS to delete a field from your attribute table and it straight up refuses, with nary an error message or explanation in sight? Well, XTools has a handy function that almost never fails to delete fields, and which also lets you delete multiple fields at once – which is particularly handy when you have lots of random fields left over from a join that you no longer want. You will need to have XTools installed: if you don’t have it installed, you can see how to do that in this Overview I published.
