topic Unable to delete fields in ArcCatalog 10.6.1 in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/unable-to-delete-fields-in-arccatalog-10-6-1/m-p/455351#M25997 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, I am wondering if anyone else has run into and resolved the same issue. I am running ArcCatalog 10.6.1 and looking to manage fields for some feature classes and shapefiles. Going into the feature class properties and Fields tab I am able to see all of the fields&nbsp;and add new fields, but cannot delete any. There is not even a grayed out option anywhere, it just appears as if there is no option to delete fields. This occurs in feature classes in versioned databases, local file geodatabases, and shapefiles in a folder.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 02 Apr 2019 14:00:16 GMT DanielleVerrier1 2019-04-02T14:00:16Z Unable to delete fields in ArcCatalog 10.6.1 https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/unable-to-delete-fields-in-arccatalog-10-6-1/m-p/455351#M25997 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, I am wondering if anyone else has run into and resolved the same issue.
