How can I remove a form field in opencart 2.0 checkout/registration page?

Question

I am trying to remove some fields from opencart 2.0x checkout and registration page, like fax, postal code. I can't seem to find the right extension so I'd like to go editing from the code level.

Can anyone guide me to a starting point?

Search for the field in account/register.tpl and delete it.
If the field is mandatory, you will also have to search for it in register controller and delete its validation from validate() function.

Thanks Ali. How do I locate the controller? – user3385915 Jun 24 '15 at 09:53
It is located in controller/account/register.php. – Jun 24 '15 at 12:18
Thanks! Its sorted. The process is that you delete from the view and also remove the same from the controller to avoid errors. – user3385915 Jun 24 '15 at 18:58

You can make new file

remove-fields.ocmod.xml

and put this code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<modification>
<name>Remove Field From Checkout Page</name>
<code>removeextrafield</code>
