Deleting a CT

Notes:

You can delete only a configuration object type (CT) if it is not used in other definitions, such as by an OU, role, or COS
Use the percent character (%) as a wildcard to represent several characters or the underscore character (_) to represent a single character. For example, to delete all CTs with names of four characters that begin with Dxx, enter:
```
del -ct Dxx_
```
You cannot delete predefined FTM SWIFT CTs. These CTs are listed in Configuration object types.

To delete a CT:

Use the list command to find out which OU still uses this CT.
For example, to see which OUs use the CT DxxPrinter, enter:
```
list -ou % -ct DxxPrinter
```
This lists all deployed OUs that use DxxPrinter. For more information about this command, see list -ou (list OUs).
Remove all COs based on this CT from the OU. See Removing a CO from an OU.
Use the list command to find out which roles still use this CT. For example, enter:
```
list -ro % -lo NCOS
```
This lists all approved roles and their assigned CTs, attributes, and COs. You need to check through the roles listed to see which ones still use the CT DxxPrinter. For more information about this command, see list -ro (list roles).
Remove all COs based on this CT from all roles. See Removing attributes from a role.
Use the list command to check which COSs use the CT. For example, enter:
```
list -cos % -ct DxxPrinter
```
This produces a list of all deployed COSs that use DxxPrinter. For more information about this command, see list -cos (list COSs or registrations).
Remove the CT from COSs. See Removing COs from a COS.
When the CT is no longer used, delete it by entering:
```
del -ct DxxPrinter
```
For more information about this command, see del (delete entities).
