      Note: If you do not select the checkbox and click Delete, the system displays a message indicating that the field was not deleted. Click Back to return to the previous page. Select the checkbox, and then click Delete.
   4. Click Delete.
   5. Click Confirm Delete. Do not leave the page until a message appears indicating that the process is complete. 
      Note: The system lists any PowerSchool pages that include the custom field. If any pages appear, you must manually remove the fields from those pages.
