How to delete a entity field when it is used in form and view?

I want to change field name or type, so I tried to delete it and then create it.

I got an error :component cannot be deleted because it is referenced by 2 other components. For a list of referenced components, use the RetrieveDependenciesForDeleteRequest

when I want to delete the field.

This field is used in form and view.

How can I delete a field programming directly without delete it from form and view first?

I think you can't remove fields unless you will remove them from form and view even from coding, so remove them from form and view and publish.

You need to work with FormXML which is stored in systemform entity, it have update method, I will say removing these fields from form directly using CRM UI will quick
