Hi,

thanks for the answer. I followed your advice and double-checked the trashcan: as owner of the file and again as administrator. The file is gone but the error messages remain the same.

It seem like one has to wait a few seconds - now it's working: I can deactivate and delete my model. Thanks alot!!! Ticket will be market as solved.

Regards,

Christian

Unfortunately, I've run into the same problem again. Only this time, there are no more instances of the custom model around, not even in the trashcan. However, the error message is telling me that 'the model is in use and cannot be deleted or deactivated.'.

Is there any way to find out to which instance the above mentioned message is referring to? The correspondig exception in the alfresco.log doesn't really help...

Thanks in advance!

You can check that all the namespaces/types/aspects defined in your model are not in use.
