Remove field from structure nested in a cell array

Hi,

I have a cell array (y_fast) of 16x1. Inside of each cell, there is a structure with two fields: Outdata and Outlist. I want to remove field called Outdata from each cell array. The complete name of field I want to remove is in my code y_fast{1,1}.Outdata. I wirte this easy command as example for the first cell array:

y_fast{1,1}=rmfield(y_fast{1,1},Outdata);

but comes the following error:

Undefined function or variable 'Outdata'.

although Outdata is already defined.

Could someone wirte me why??

Thank you for the very good answer. It runs without any error but still does not remove the field Outdata from the structure!!!

When you ask a question , first and foremost attach the datas as .mat file.

Assign the result to the variable

y_fast = cellfun(@(x)rmfield(x,'Outdata'),y_fast,'un',0)
