Deleting types

Use the instructions in this section to delete types.

You can only remove a user-defined type from the repository if:

You are the owner of the type or have superuser privileges.
The type has no subtypes.
There are no existing objects of that type in the repository.

You cannot remove system-defined types from the repository. If you delete an object type with an associated assignment policy, the assignment policy is not removed. You can delete it manually.

You cannot delete a shareable type that is shared by a lightweight sysobject. Delete the dependent lightweight objects first.

To delete a type:

Navigate to Administration > Types to access the Types list page.
A list of existing object types is displayed.
Select the type to delete.
Select File > Delete.
The type is deleted.
