# Remove `metafieldDelete` in favor of `metafieldsDelete`

As of `2025-01` the `metafieldDelete` Admin API method is being removed. The `metafieldsDelete` method should be used instead. The former relies on the Metafield GID, while the latter takes an array of Metafield Identifiers composed of `ownerId`, `namespace`, and `key`. Note that the Metafield GID is not an option in `metafieldsDelete`.
