# Delete an extra suboption metafield

> **API operation:** [Open the endpoint in Scalar](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/#tag/business/DELETE/business/{business_id}/extras/{extra_id}/options/{option_id}/suboptions/{suboption_id}/metafields/{metafield_id})

Use `DELETE /business/{business_id}/extras/{extra_id}/options/{option_id}/suboptions/{suboption_id}/metafields/{metafield_id}` to delete one metafield from an extra suboption. The operation is `ExtraOptionSuboptionMetafield.delete`.

The endpoint resolves `metafield_id` only through the specified `business_id`, `extra_id`, `option_id`, and `suboption_id` hierarchy and the literal model identity `ExtraOptionSuboption`. Resolve every ID before sending this destructive request.

The operation requires administrator or business-manager authentication. A business manager is scoped through businesses associated with that user.

See [find an extra suboption metafield](https://docs.ordering.co/api-reference/guides/find-extra-suboption-metafields/) for the item read.
