The resource type can not be deleted as resources of this…

Error message

The resource type can not be deleted as resources of this type still exist.

What it means

Safety check in ResourceTypesDeleteService::delete(): a resource type cannot be soft-deleted while resources of that type still exist. Fires when the resources table reports a non-zero count of resources referencing the type, preventing orphaned resources; admins must migrate or delete those resources first. (Related guards block deleting the last resource type of the default version or the last available type.)

Solutions

  1. Delete or move resources of this type first
  2. Bulk-edit resources to another type before retrying
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation
