It doesn't exist. There currently isn't even support for removing unused node types. There's a Jira issue JCR-322 for adding these features, but nobody is working on it at the moment. I think the only way to remove or modify an *unused* node type at the moment is to shutdown the repository and manually edit the custom_nodetypes.xml file. Just remember to keep good backups...
