I am trying to delete a custom content type in Site Settings. I received the following error:

The content type "Branded PowerPoint Presentation" is part of an application feature.

What does this mean? How can I remove this type from the application(s)?

Microsoft 365 and Office | SharePoint | For business | Windows

    Hi Kelli,

    From the screenshot you provided, I noticed that the Parent Content Type shows Microsoft PowerPoint not Document. So I’d like to know how you define it.

    Moreover, I’s like to confirm whether you upload a template PowerPoint file for the content type.

    Thanks,

    Cliff

    Cliff,

    The steps are below.

    1. Go to Site Settings
    2. Click "Site Content Types" 
    3. On the next page, click "Create" at the top of the page.
    4. On the next page, enter a Name for the content type. 
    5. Select "Document Content Types" from the parent content type dropdown.
    6. Select "Document" as the parent content type.
    7. Select "Custom Content Types" from the Existing Group dropdown. 

    Does that help?

    Cliff,

    I created the content type in Site Settings > Site Content Types > "Create". Now, I am trying to delete the content type from the same area in site settings. (screenshot below for reference)
