Delete a Field(Column) in SharePoint List using PowerShell

Hello People,
The following is a code snippet from PowerShell to completely remove or delete a field in a SharePoint list. The code uses the GUID to find the field (column). I tested this with SharePoint 2010. Feel free to modify the code. :)

$web=Get-SPWeb "http://mySite/"
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList("My List Name")
if ($list -ne $null) {
    foreach($column in $list.Fields){
        if ($column.Id -eq "[GUID]") {
            write-host -f green "Deleting column with Internal name as : " $column.InternalName
            
            if ($column.ReadOnlyField)
            {
                $column.ReadOnlyField = $false;
                $column.Update()
            }

            if ($column.Hidden)
            {
                $column.Hidden = $false;
                $column.Update()
            }
     
            if ($column.AllowDeletion -eq $null -or !$column.AllowDeletion.Value)
            {
                $column.AllowDeletion = $true
                $column.Update()
            }
     
            $column.Delete()
            $column.ParentList.Update()

        }
    }
}
else
{
    write-host "list is null"
}

Hello People,

I believe all of you have been stuck on printers where you send files to the printer, But they do not actually print. And later pm you try to delete the file to be printed in the printer tray and they just keep on saying deleting.

Well here is an executable file that will remove the files in the printer tray. No more printer troubles. :D
