I created a collection type in the Strapi admin panel and now I want to delete it, but I don't see an option anywhere in the admin panel to do so. I must be missing something obvious, right?
You can do it in Content Type Builder, steps:
Official docs - Deleting content-types
Another way is to use the admin API, make a DELETE
call to:
/content-type-builder/content-types/:uid
To use the API you must have permissions enabled for a role under Roles & Permissions
At the time of this update Strapi added a caution (Feb 2022):
Deleting a content-type only deletes what was created and available from the Content-type Builder ... All the data ... is however kept in the database.
