# Removing a custom post type

 * Hi,
 * We on our local development environment, have one WP with Integrity Theme running
   and with some cutom modifications done on it. Then we installed CPT UI and created
   a CPT named “Community”. Later we were asked to remove the post type. We could
   remove the posts and db table entries. How do we get the admin menu removed? 
   I mean completely remove all traces of it from admin.
 * Regards

 * If you already deleted the posts for this “Community” post type, then all you
   need to do now is delete the saved CPT from CPTUI. There should be a delete button
   available when you’re on the “Edit post types” tab for it.
 * For example: [https://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cptui_manage_post_types&action=edit](https://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=cptui_manage_post_types&action=edit)
 * Fill in the actual domain used for your localhost

 * I think we uninstalled CPT UI! now with a new install, it doesn’t show this “
   Community” post type!

 * Yeah, because you deactivated the plugin instead of deleting the saved post type
   in the option 😛
