===HOW TO: Remove a Field===
The quick answer is to say "the opposite of adding one".

; Remove the Field to metadata-types.xml : Removing it from here will mean that nobody can enter values for that field. Which is possibly enough, and means you can put it back later.
; Remove the Field to ArchiveMetafieldConfig.pm : This will remove it from the database ( and require a rebuild as with adding a field ).
; Remove it from the phrase file(s) : This is optional, unused phrases are just ignored.
; Remove it from the citations file : If it's used there.
; Remove it from the the Abstract (or View-User) page. : If it's used there.
; Remove extra Validation Routines : In the unlikely event you added some validation which looks at this field.
; Remove it from the OAI metadata (eprints only) : If it's being used. Fields used to generate the default dublincore are: title, authors, subjects, abstract, year and month. It also uses "type" which is a system field so you can't remove it!
; Remove it from browse views (eprints only) : If it's used there.
