Bulk Delete of Custom Fields

[Marshall5686]

We have hundreds of unused custom fields created from a prior acquisition. Is there a way to delete them in bulk rather than one-at-a-time?

Thx -SM

With Spring 08, there will be a meta-data API for defining custom fields, etc. that can be used within the Force.com IDE based on Eclipse (Enterprise/Unlimited only).  You should be able to download your meta-data configuration into Eclipse, delete the fields you don't want, and then deploy it back to your SFDC org.  You can read more about the Force.com IDE at http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/index.php/Force.com_IDE
