Unable to delete SharePoint 2010 ContentType “Contenty type in use.”

I was frustrated by this issue until I found your comment. Excellent advice.

  1. Delete from site recycle bin.
  2. Delete from Site Collection > Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Recycle Bin.
  3. Delete from End User Recycle Bin Items.
  4. Delete from “Deleted From End User Recycle Bin.”

That’s a lot of recycling! Once complete, I was able to delete the content type.
