This information is not correct.  
The Button "add field..." opens the dialog "Edit tag info".  
You cannot see _"several fields"_ in this dialog, but you can create a user defined tag-field.

To delete one entry or more in the "Metadata" listbox do it as always:  
Select - Delete

I think he wants to remove entries from the tag field list.

**How to remove tag fields from the list:**

- Select a file, click View \> ![:mt_tag:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/e7edc735a96d8d241c37593e98667ab3dc20c6b6.png ":mt\_tag:") Extended Tags...
- Click on ![:mt_new:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/ec5caa1b5d6c43fd0fe30efd3515a713a18c5105.png ":mt\_new:") and select the field name you want to remove
- Press SHIFT + DEL
- Now select a different field and enter some value
- Click OK twice and exit Mp3tag
