Delete or removing price field

I realize this is a serious noob question, but I simply want to delete the Price field entirely so that it doesn’t show up on any listing or category. I’m using the Classifieds Theme. I saw a post earlier about editing the item.php file but didn’t understand what i needed to delete from that file. I deleted the two “price” related entries in that file but it made no difference and the price field still showed up. Just thought I’d post in the General forum in hopes of someone helping.

How do I remove it completely?
Thanks so much!!

FYI here is my current item.php file text (I reset it back to the default):

<?php
global $userdata;

// GET THE DEFAULT POST CUSTOM FIELDS
if($featured == “yes”){ $ex = “featuredlisting”; $btnType = “green”; }else{ $ex = “”; $btnType = “gray”; }

?>

<?php
// FEATURED GRAPHIC
