# DropFields class
<a name="aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-transforms-DropFields"></a>

Drops fields within a `DynamicFrame`.

## Example
<a name="pyspark-DropFields-examples"></a>

We recommend that you use the [`DynamicFrame.drop_fields()`](aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame.md#aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame-drop_fields) method to drop fields from a `DynamicFrame`. To view a code example, see [Example: Use drop\$1fields to remove fields from a `DynamicFrame`](aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-extensions-dynamic-frame.md#pyspark-drop_fields-example).

<a name="aws-glue-api-crawler-pyspark-transforms-DropFields-__call__"></a>

Drops nodes within a `DynamicFrame`.
+ `frame` – The `DynamicFrame` to drop the nodes in (required).
+ `paths` – A list of full paths to the nodes to drop (required).
+ `transformation_ctx` – A unique string that is used to identify state information (optional).
+ `info` – A string associated with errors in the transformation (optional).
+ `stageThreshold` – The maximum number of errors that can occur in the transformation before it errors out (optional). The default is zero.
+ `totalThreshold` – The maximum number of errors that can occur overall before processing errors out (optional). The default is zero.

Returns a new `DynamicFrame` without the specified fields.
