Unable to Delete Document Types?

We are deleting old Document Type's from an OnBase system we have inherited, all the documents were deleting over a year ago from the DocType and are empty.

When i am deleting the empty document types using the -ROMANZO switch, there are a few DocTypes were a system message pops up saying 'Documents exist for this Document Type - You must purge these documents before you can delete'.

I have checked using the Client and there are no documents in the DocTypes, I have all the permissions, and i have checked document maintenance for documents.

Does anyone have any advice on things to check?

Thank you. I was having the same issue, and it was because I had some documents on the document maintenance folder. That was it! 🙂
