Magento 2 Remove Product Attribute Programmatically

If you want to remove product attribute programmatically then you are in a right place. In this article I am going to explain how to remove product attribute programmatically in Magento 2.

First of all you need to create one module. If you already have a module then go with that but don't forget to change the setup version and if you are new in Magento then check our another article How To Create a Magento 2 Module.

Let's get started!!

Now I assume you already have magento module.

To Remove the product attribute programmatically in module we need to create InstallData class in our Magento 2 Extension

Let's Create InstallData.php file at app/code/Devhooks/HelloWorld/Setup/InstallData.php and paste the below code.

saveCopyzoom_out_map
<?php
namespace Devhooks\HelloWorld\Setup;

use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup;
use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;

class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
    private $eavSetupFactory;

    public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory)
    {
        $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
    }

    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);

        $eavSetup->removeAttribute(
          \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
           'custom_attribute');
    }
}

In above code we have remove a text type attribute. Replace, custom_attribute with your attribute code.

Now, open Command line in folder root of magento and run both commands for remove product attribute programmatically.

saveCopyzoom_out_map
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento cache:flush

php bin/magento indexer:reindex

Bingo!! we are done, now go to the Admin > Store > Attributes > Product and find your attribute is exist or not.

That's it!!
