To make it simple, product attributes refer to the features of products. These attributes can be something physical, like size, shape, color, or they can be something more abstract, like the brand quality and value.
In this blog, we will learn how to delete a product attribute in Magento 2 with step-by-step instructions. Let’s start!
Check the Product Attribute Active Status

Choose Product
in the Entity Type field
Now, the system will display an attributes grid, sorted in alphabet. That is the list of all the attributes being used. It also has a search box to make it easier to find the attribute you’re looking for.
