Deleting a metric type entails deleting many related records.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: assessment_admin or admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

You must delete some of these records manually before deleting the type, while the
system deletes others automatically with the type.

## Prozedur

1. Delete the records associated with the type to delete:  
   * [Assessment results](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yDyBh8NbmiXko76HfcgsYg "In the Assessments application, when the system processes completed questionnaires or gathers values returned from scripted metric queries, it generates assessment result records called metric and category results.") (metric and category results)
   * [Assessment instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/qOr8cRMlDepSwzce532aLw "An assessment instance represents one occurrence of a questionnaire assigned to one user.") (questions and assessment instances, in that order)
   * [Assessment groups](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NzPU4pj23vY3FN520VmsTw "An assessment group is a container for assessment instances and assessment results generated in a single occurrence.")
