Unable to delete same site-level content type - The content type is part of an application feature.

I have a content type called "XYZ" at a subsite level that I'm trying to delete. I have disassociated all lists (there is only 1 list using content types, which is using a different parent level one now) from this content type but I'm still getting
this error:
The content type "XYZ" is part of an application feature.

Hi,
Please try to change "IsFromFeature" flag in content database for the particular content type from "1" to "0".
More information is here:

  • Cant delete orphaned content type, it says : "The content type is part of an application feature."

    I created site from existing site template that previous vendor working with company created. I could figure that they saved site as template and when you do that sharepoint creates sandboxed solution. When I create site based on that template, it adds orphaned
    content type and when I try to delete it, it gives error : "The content type is part of an application feature.".
    I looked on internet but solutions dont seem to fit in my scenario.
    Following are possible solutions I read on net.
    1) Deactivate feature that has content type and all dependencies for content type and then delete content type --- In my case there is no feature in feature galary that you can deactivate as it is part of site template.
    2)Get the WSP and edit in visual studio, I am working on client machine and I do not have access to sharepoint server. When I try to create new visual studio project with "Import sharepoint solution package", it says Sharepoint server is not installed
    on this computer. I tried to get Microsoft.Sharepoint dll from Microsoft virtual lab but I can only work on web client and windows client doesnt work. Web client is not letting me copy files into my local desktop.
    Any suggestions ? I just need to take that content type out and generate WSP and upload it back

    Below is how I recreated problem , my findings and solution to this problem (Everything is done through Sharepoint UI)
    Problem :
    Create site and create custom content type using sharepoint UI.
    Save site as template.
    Use above template to create new site.
    New site contains orphaned content type, when you try to delete that unnecessary content type sharepoint gives error: The content type is part of an application feature. Sharepoint will not let you delete this content type.
    Delete original site from which template was created.
    Findings:
    When you save site as template, sharepoint creates and activates Sandboxed solution in solution gallery of Root Site.
    Sandbox solution has same name that you gave when saving site as template.
    Activation of Sandboxed solution adds feature having name of original site from which template was created, and this is Site Collection Feature. I could not find any site feature for it and also I could not find any site feature for custom content type
    as well. I think when you create content type through Sharepoint UI, it doesnt create site feature for that.
    Deactivating site collection feature for that site template doesn't let you delete that orphaned content type from newly created site.
    Solution:
    If you deactivate Sandboxed solution from Solutions gallery, it will remove corresponding site collection feature as well as that orphaned content type from site. Reactivating that solution doesn't add orphaned content type back to newly created site.
    Above process only deletes orphaned content type from newly created existing site but you will have same problem when you create more new sites from that site template.
    I would say once your problem is fixed with deleting content type, solution is to replace site template. In this way newly created sites wont have same problem again.

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • Issue with the site level access in the trial ac

    I am following the given video to get an understanding of site level access.
    SAP HANA Cloud Portal Setting Access Levels in the Site - YouTube
    I could not find the option of setting the site level access to either public, restricted or private in my trial ac. in the site settings as per the given video above. Could this be some authorization issue or some settings that needs to be done.

    Hello,
    The site access level configuration is now under the Access Managment entry in the side panel.
    Please follow the documentation in the link below.

  • I am unable to delete an email account/profile in the settings for Mail/Contacts/etc.

    I have 3 email accounts and on 2 of them there is the "Delete Account" red button at the bottom, but for one of them it is not an option. This particular account that I am trying to remove was installed using the iOS setup tool from GoDaddy.com, which is the host for my work email. These were the instructions I was asked to follow to setup the IMAP account on my iPad:
    1. Go to the GoDaddy website (full site) in Safari
    2. Type "Apple" in search bar top right.
    3. Select "Automatically Setting up Email on Your Apple Mobile Device"
    4. Select "Email InfoCenter"
    5. Type in my email and password.
    6. In email info center, select "Auto Setup fo iOS"
    7. In the popup, there is a link in bold letters, select that and copy it, then paste it into your Safari address field at the top and go to that site.
    8. Follow instructions and type in your password to validate.
    This installs your IMAP account on your iPhone or iPad automatically. So when you go to Mail, it is there as an option.
    The problem is that I can't figure out how to delete it!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • How can I actually open multiple tabs of the same site, instead of performing the new "switch to tab" action?

    For example, sometimes I would like to open multiple tabs of Google Maps to get directions to multiple locations, and I haven't found a way to do so without open a new instance of the browser. Thanks.

    This one colors tabs, but the author warns that it doesn't work with other tab-related extensions, so you probably need to keep searching for one that does everything you want:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/
    If you don't find a do-it-all extension, you can modify the tab titles with a userscript that is specific to that website. This is because the tab displays the text designated in the page as its title.
    You either could "hard code" the list of words for each of the pages, or you could have a script extract information from the page, for example, the first main heading, or some other predictable bit of data. The script then would insert your preferred wording as the title of the page and Firefox will show that on the tab.
    To see how that appears, so you know whether it would be useful, you could do this experiment:
    On a web page that has useless tab text, open the Web Console using command+alt+k (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+k). In the line at the bottom next to the caret, paste the following code and press Enter:
    document.title="Magic!";
    If you decide you want a script written for this, you could try the request forum on userscripts''.''org:
    [http://userscripts.org/forums/2 Ideas and script requests - Userscripts.org]
    Although some people offer small payments, that usually isn't necessary to motivate people to help.
    Let me give you a brief warning about that site, though: over the past year, a lot of popular scripts were duplicated and reposted with additional code that hijacks your Facebook account. Be cautious when installing scripts, check the reviews, make sure there are no references to Facebook.

  • I can't delete Safari lion book marks . does the cloud play a part?

    How do i delete a safari bookmark  I have 10 mountian lion mimi mac new
    I tryed many times Apple support -open book menue select bookmark hit keyboard delete
    nothing happens

    Triple-click the text on the line below to the clipboard, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    A folder window should open with a file named "Bookmarks.plist" selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the folder open.
    Relaunch Safari. It will open with the default set of bookmarks. Delete them all. Select
    File ▹ Import Bookmarks
    from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Arrange the bookmark folders as you wish.
    Re-enable synchronization if you disabled it. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

  • Mass role Import in ERM "unable to determine matching org. level" Error

    I am trying to upload the Derived Roles into the ERM. I have already uploaded all the Parents Roles. The volumes of the Derived Roles is huge in my SAP Backend system.
    I am not able to understand what should be the content of Org File which we upload. Please correct if I am wrong
    1>Example a role Z_TEST_D is derived from Z_TEST on the org levels EKGRP,KOART,GSBER,WERKS.
    2>I have run Org Synchronization Job in the ERM
    3>Downloaded Z_TEST (Parent Role) and uploaded it into ERM(It was easy because there was no org file)
    4> Downloaded Z_TEST_D(Derived Role) through /VIRSA/RE_DNLDROLES Tcode in backend.
    5>Downloaded the AGR_1252 information for this role which contained the Org levels and values
    6>I put all those information into the Org File and then tried to upload it throws me the error Role Z_TEST_D : not imported; unable to determine matching org. level for WERKSin the system
    So I again tried with the another method by changing the input sheet for the Org File
    Z_TEST_D BUKRS 0* 9*
    Z_TEST_D EKGRP *
    Z_TEST_D KOART *
    Z_TEST_D GSBER *
    Z_TEST_D WERKS *
    and tried to upload it again gave me the same error. I have checked the ERM all these Org Levels are fetched into the ERM. I am not sure if I am missing any basic things.
    Current Support pack: SP10 Hot Fix 2.
    Please share your experience and best practice to upload the roles,

    Hello Rahul,
    I had that same problem with SP10 also. The way I resolved itand this sounds crazywas to move that WERKS line up one or two rows.
    The problem I noticed was not with all derived roles, but when there was a problem, it was always the last line of the Org file for the role that was causing the problem. And the problem was not always WERKS either.
    If the next time you run it, the error occurs on the "new" last line (e.g. GSBER), move that line up also. Eventually they all make it in. I have not seen this problem repeated in SP12. Don't delete the line, just shift the order within the number of rows the role has.
    P.S. I have several hundred derived roles, about 10 - 15% had this import problem.

  • Unable to delete records as the transaction log file is full

    My disk is running out of space and as a result I decided to free some space by deleting old data. I tried to delete 100,000 by 100,000 as there are 240 million records to be deleted. But I am unable to delete them at once and shrinking the database doesn't
    free much space. This is the error im getting at times.
    The transaction log for database 'TEST_ARCHIVE' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
     How can I overcome this situation and delete all the old records? Please advice.
    mayooran99

    In order to delete the SQL Server need to write the information in the log file, and you do not have the place for those rows in the log file. You might succeeded to delete less in each time -> next backup the log file each time -> next shrink the
    log file... but this is not the way that I would chose.
    Best option is probably to add another disc (a simple disk do not cost a lot), move the log file there permanently. It will increase the database work as well (it is highly recommend not to put the log file on the same disk as the data file in most cases).
    If you can't add new disk permanently then add one temporary. Then add file to the database in this disk -> create new table in this disk -> move all the data that you do
    not want to delete to the new table -> truncate the current table -> bring back the data om the new table -> drop the new table and the new file to release the temporary disk.
    Are you using full mode or simple recovery mode ?
    * in full mode you have to backup the log file if you want to shrink it

  • Admins are unable to edit all sites?

    Hello and help!
    We have designed three websites, all under the same site plan. From the admin panel, the admin is able to edit both site 1 and 2, but not site number three. Right now, we have
    A-Master (admin is able to edit)
    B-Master (admin is able to edit)
    C-Master (admin is able to edit)
    D-Master (admin is unable to edit)
    A, B and C Master all have links that lead to D-Master, but you are unable to click on them from the admin panel, only edit them. D-Master DOES have it's own domain name. Does this make a difference? A, B and C master are all under the same domain. Keep in mind, D-Master was designed under the same site plan.
    Any help would be so appreciated! Thanks!

    Master pages can not be edited with IBE at this time.

  • Unable to delete songs from my iPad 2

    Last night for the first time ever I had problems updating iOs (version 7.0.4) on my iPad 2. I kept getting one of several messages, for example, saying: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes. I went through the update three times before it finally worked.
    Then I found that I had every song that I had ever purchased cluttering up -- and filling up -- my iPad. Although in the past I was able to delete either a single song or an entire album, I am now UNABLE TO DELETE ANY SONG.
    I have the iTunes setting on Manual update and have attempted to completely disconnect the disgusting iCloud feature. However, it appears that iCloud is NOT disconnected.
    I happily use the iPad 2 ONLY for a very few uses on a daily basis. I wish to control ALL my music from my iMac.
    I've been with Apple since 1984, but I'm seriously thinking of ditching this iPad 2 for a Samsung product.
    Any assistance will be appreciated.

    Somehow I got 12 songs on my ipad mini that I could not remove.
    I stumbled across a solution.  Plug in the ipad and UN-check "sync music" to remove all but the remaining unwanted song.  Find the song in your itunes library and right click these unwanted songs and RE-ADD it directly to the ipad.
    The ipad should automatically re-check "sync music" and show one song being synced.  Now manually UN-check the sync music box again and the warning will come up "are you sure...existing songs...removed".  Select remove and click the "apply" button in itunes.  Once the changes are applied, you should see the song remove itself from your ipad.
    Good luck!
