Gramps 5.1.5 Python 3.8.10 (Ubuntu) When inserting locations, after specifying the type, I occasionally gave too quickly a enter. The wrong location types are now unused in my system. How do I delete them? ---

Paul created and contributed the [Type Cleanup](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Types_Cleanup_Tool) addon tool for this kind of scenario. It allows merging of Custom Types too. Just rename a Custom Type to the other Custom (or pre-defined) Type ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/2/271c7a2fbcee5f1ccb8114a3623c07fee3da27bb.png) ---
