  1. Log into Alfresco Share as a user that is a member of the ALFRESCO_MODEL_ADMINISTRATORS permission group and click Admin Tools > Model Manager and select the content model to delete a custom type for.
  2. Click Delete from the Actions dropdown against the custom type to delete.
    Note: If a custom type refers to another custom type within the same content model, then the referenced type cannot be deleted until the type that references it has been removed.
