How to delete the ContentType and related db tables in Strapi?

Question

I am using Strapi v3.0.0-beta.18.7

How to delete the ContentType and the related tables from DB ?

I tried the command below, but it is not deleting the db tables.

DELETE  http://localhost:1337/content-type-builder/content-types/application::CONTENT_TYPE_NAME.CONTENT_TYPE_NAME

Answer 1

To delete the content-type and related db-tables in Strapi, You can delete the folder inside /api folder having same name as your content-type

Suppose if you want to delete the "product" content type, you can delete the product folder inside of /api

Answer 2

The database's tables sync is not managed in the Content Type Builder plugin.

By default, Strapi doesn't delete anything from your database structure.

Strapi is customizable but you will not be able to update this.
