# Delete Address Metafield

> **API operation:** [Open the endpoint in Scalar](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/#tag/users/DELETE/users/{user_id}/addresses/{address_id}/metafields/{metafield_id})

Use `DELETE /users/{user_id}/addresses/{address_id}/metafields/{metafield_id}` to delete a metafield from a user's address. The operation documented here is `AddressMetafield.delete`.

The documented schema requires authentication. A non-administrator can act only when `user_id` identifies the authenticated user, and the deletion targets the specified `address_id` and `metafield_id`. Deletion is destructive, so verify the full identifier chain before use.

See [List address metafields](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/testinput/) for the related collection.
