Remove a content type from a list or library

When you remove a content type from a list or library, users will no longer be able to create new items of that content type inside the list or library. Removing a content type from a list or library does not delete any items that were created from the content type.

1. Go to the list or library from which you want to remove the content type.
   
2. Do one of the following:
   
   • If you are working in a list, click the List tab, and then click List Settings.
     
   • If you are working in a library, click the Library tab, and then click Library Settings.
     

Under Content Types, click the name of the content type that you want to remove.
Note   If the list or library has not been set up to allow multiple content types, the Content Types section does not appear on the Customize page for the list or library.

1. Under Settings, click Delete this content type.
   

When you are asked whether you are sure that you want to delete this content type, click OK.
