Delete Metafield

The Delete Metafield API removes an existing metafield associated with a specific resource.

This API is especially useful for:

  1. Removing outdated or incorrect metafields.
  2. Cleaning up unused metafield data for resources.
  3. Managing resource metadata efficiently.

Note: The operation is scoped to a specific shop, identified by its unique domain prefix (shopdomain), ensuring all updates are applied to the correct store.
