# Delete a Calculated Field

User-created [calculated fields](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/advocate-program/manage-advocate-participants/custom-and-calculated-fields/calculated-fields-explained.md) can be deleted if you don’t want to continue using the calculation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Warning:** Deleting a calculated field is permanent and can’t be undone.
{% endhint %}

1. In the left navigation menu, select ![](/files/CDnwOBeIdds9r3Z6zTnO) **\[Engage] → Data Sources** → **Fields**.
2. In the *Fields* table, find the calculated field you want to delete.
3. Hover over the calculated field and select **Delete**.
4. Review the pop-up and confirm that you want to proceed.

#### Effects of deleting a calculated field

Deleted calculated fields remain visible in the Fields table. If your calculated field had a fixed or sliding [tracking window](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/advocate-program/manage-advocate-participants/custom-and-calculated-fields/tracking-windows-for-calculated-fields-explained.md), then previous calculations may also be visible on individual participant profiles.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/advocate-program/manage-advocate-participants/custom-and-calculated-fields/delete-a-calculated-field.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
