 * In my theme I have two custom post types which I removed after finishing development
   for the theme as my client no longer needed these post types. Both post types
   were created in the functions file for the theme using the register post type
   function, including setting the available capabilities for each respective post
   type.
 * After removing the two post types from the functions file for the theme, the 
   capabilities for the two post types are still showing up in the Additional tab
   in Publish Press Capabilities. I have gone through my roles and checked the red
   X for each of these, however I would prefer they are deleted completely.
 * How do I delete this capabilities permanently?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Can anyone provide advice on this issue? I have looked through documentation 
   and searched and cannot find an answer for this question. If someone from PublishPress
   has a chance to reply that would be great!
 * Thanks again for your help!

 * Hi [@trebor33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trebor33/)
 * Thanks for using PublishPress Capabilities.
 * If capabilities are not being loaded by a plugin or theme, and they are not assigned
   to any user role, then they will disappear.
