How do I delete metadata types?
To delete a metadata type, you must submit a request to the DAM Support team. Before submitting your request, complete these prerequisite steps to ensure the metadata type is no longer in use anywhere in Acquia DAM (Widen):
Complete an Advanced Search to find all assets that are using the metadata type, and perform a batch edit to change their metadata type.
Remove the metadata type from older versions of assets. If the metadata type is assigned to an older version, you cannot delete it.
If the Archived Assets feature is enabled and assets are archived, complete these same steps using an Archived Asset Search.
If assets are in a conflicted state, resolve them so that no conflicts remain with the metadata type assigned at upload.
Delete any lost assets permanently.
Restore, change, or permanently delete any Pending Delete assets assigned to the metadata type.
Review Upload Profiles, locate any usage of the metadata type, and change it to another metadata type.
Remove all associated metadata fields from the metadata type.
Review Upload Profiles, locate any usage of the intended metadata type, and change it to another metadata type.
Remove any metadata fields that are associated with only this metadata type.
