Cant delete page types - tried most things I think

Permalink
Starting a new thread as I can't find one that goes to the extent I think I need to go to.
I've got 4 page types from an old theme I'm trying to remove.
- I've removed the theme completely
- I've tried doing a page search - nothing comes up using the page types
- I've removed old page versions via automated jobs
- I've gone to the sitemap and selected system pages and emptied the trash
- I've got no drafts anywhere.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi

Dashboard > Page types > Settings > Delete

Yep I tried that too. Sorry - I knew I was forgetting to put something in my post. I'm pretty stumped on what it could be. I even went in to the file structure to delete the old unused folders of the theme the pages types have come from (Slate) however they still exist. The only difference now is that instead of telling me the page type belongs to the Slate theme it just says none.

so you have
1. Checked and deleted the theme from the theme menu
2. used the Dashboard > Page types > Settings > Delete and get no errors

when u try 2 above you still see them in the Dashboard > Page types menu ?

I get the red/pink message stating:

You must delete all pages of this type, and remove all page versions that contain this page type before deleting this page type.

another suggestion was to remove all page versions manually including any system pages
