Hi Arta, As I noted on Slack, I believe the only way to *delete* Entity Types and Relationships at this time is to remove them from the database. Currently, you can reimport the "relationship-types.xml" in order to *update* existing Entity Types or Relationships. But, it doesn't yet have a deletion option, and there's no way to delete these types from the User Interface yet.
I just wanted to ensure this answer was also captured in this mailing list question, in case others have additional ideas to share.
