Allow deleting of multiple fields at once

Currently if you select multiple fields, and then choose delete, only one field is deleted. You need to manually select each field in order to delete it.
I duplicated a table un order to copy over 1 column of data, however I don't need the other columns (fields). I wanted to delete all columns/fields at once but I'm not able to. This seems like it should be standard functionality.

During a Initial phase one tends to create many fields to test and for other purpose. While optimizing the data, there's need to delete many fields, if this can be done at once, itll save lot of time

Great to hear your perspective, Dinesh Biyani! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific fields are you looking to delete in bulk?
- How often do you find yourself needing to delete multiple fields at once?
- Are there any specific conditions or criteria that determine which fields should be deleted together?

Hello Jon,
- Nothing specific, all the unwanted fields
- right now, find it quite often as in the initial phase
- no specific criteria, just want to select few unwanted fields and del them

The ability to multi-select (Ctrl+ Select / Shift+ Select) Fields and delete them.

Also for resizing columns, multi-select doesn't work. One should be able to multi-select columns just as they can rows in order to make bulk changes to those columns/fields.
