Delete multiple fields quickly

ChrisShaffer

I have a feature class with about 50 fields. I want to delete the first 47 of them and keep the last 3. I know the "Delete Fields" geoprocessing tool can do this, but it's a pain to choose each field from the list box. Any other ways to go about this?

Wonderful! The "Add Many" ability works well in my case. Thanks!

I see. Improving the UI in the gp tool is in the product plan as indicated on this idea: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/change-pro-delete-field-tool-ux/idi-p/927087

Export features basically achieves this and is much faster. Use the Fields section to specify which fields you want to export, and just remove those you don't.

If you are using ArcGIS Pro

Right click your layer -> Atribute Table or just using shortcut by clicking CTRL + T

Choose your field that you want to delete by clicking Shift or CTRL on the title of each field

Right click the last field that you has choose -> Delete

Thanks Kory. I guess I'm trying to do this in a geoprocessing model. I have a big layer with too much information and want to simplify it before creating a hosted feature layer and adding it to a Webmap.

Hi @ChrisShaffer You can use the Fields view for this in ArcGIS Pro:
