```Removes a single session-local fieldset, previously defined with [`HIMPORT PREPARE`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/himport-prepare), from the current connection.

## Required arguments

<details open><summary><code>fieldset-name</code></summary>

The name of the fieldset to remove from the current connection.

</details>

## Examples

```
> HIMPORT PREPARE u name email age
OK
> HIMPORT DISCARD u
(integer) 1
> HIMPORT DISCARD u
(integer) 0
```

## Details

Discarding a fieldset only removes the fieldset itself; it does not affect any hashes already created from it with [`HIMPORT SET`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/himport-set).

Use `HIMPORT DISCARD` to free up resources on the connection once a bulk-ingestion job that used a given fieldset has finished. If you don't discard it, the fieldset stays allocated on the connection until the connection closes or the client issues the [`RESET`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/commands/reset) command.
