Delete Fields
You can choose from two methods to delete a collection of fields. When you call the deleteFields method, you use full identifiers to specify the fields to be removed, and when you call the deleteFieldsbyUUID method, you use UUIDs. In both cases, fields and their related field options, related relationships, and related options are removed.
* 
You cannot remove fields that are shared among multiple objects.
