| Feb 20, 2017 at 16:53 | comment | added | Midavalo♦ | @Hank no problem - Have a go trying a few tools in ModelBuilder and update your question to include the result (and how that does or doesn't work for you) and include any code snippets that produces if you want to go down the arcpy path (if necessary). Seeing what you've tried helps potential answerers not suggest something you've already tried, and also can help them fully understand what you are trying to do | |

| Feb 20, 2017 at 16:45 | comment | added | Vince | There are always multiple ways to do anything in GIS. Unchecking the columns in a layer then saving the data would much faster than multiple delete operations. Please edit the question to specify what you have tried. | |
| Feb 20, 2017 at 16:42 | comment | added | Hank | @Midavalo That actually is very helpful, as it would eliminate the only reason for this need. Although, I still would like to know if there is a way to do it without deleting, in the case that I need it in the future. | |
| Feb 20, 2017 at 16:42 | comment | added | Vince | Your script should certainly test for the existence of a field before deleting it. | |

I know this doesn't answer your question, but in response to "causing the program to fail" I believe that arcpy.DeleteField_management() will not fail if told to delete a field that doesn't exist.
