Try opening it in 'explorer view' to see if there's any files in there.

Just a basic suggestion if you haven't tried already... - Is your view displaying all items (not filtering anything out?) - Turned on the CT as a list column? Will let you quickly spot any used instances. FWIW.. HTH Kind regards, Chris Milne From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Monday, 6 July 2009 9:29 AM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: RE: Can't delete old content type [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Hi Caroline, I'm only trying to delete it from a particular document library at this stage, not at the site collection level. I successfully delete it from another document library but it looks like there must be items I can't see in this one. :\ Anyone got a programmatic quick fix that'll take two params - old and new content type - and update all items matching?

I've been right through the library and can't find any items that are using it. Is it possible that even as site collection admin I wouldn't see items that have been uploaded but not yet checked in??
