When you delete an asset type, keep the following points in mind:
You can delete a type only if there are no instances of that type in the registry.
The core asset types that belong to CentraSite are non-deletable. CentraSite will not allow you to delete these types, even if there are no instances of the selected type in the registry. For a list of the core types that belong to CentraSite, see The Predefined Types Installed with CentraSite.
Important:
If you are using CentraSite in conjunction with other software
products, for example, the products of the Software AG webMethods Product Suite
or a third-party product, those products can add their own asset types to
CentraSite. Be aware that CentraSite treats these types as user-defined
custom types, which can be deleted by an administrator with the appropriate
permissions (like any custom type). Deleting these types in CentraSite can
lead to inconsistencies or errors in the product that uses the type. For
example, if you delete a type that is used by the webMethods Product Suite,
components such as the webMethods Integration Server may no longer be able to
publish assets to CentraSite. To prevent these types of errors, do not
delete any asset type on which other Software AG components or third-party
products depend. For a list of the predefined types that the webMethods
Product Suite uses, see The
Predefined Types Installed with CentraSite.

them are predefined types, you can use the button

types, only types you have permission for will be deleted. The same applies to
any other types for which you do not have the required permission.
