Yes, this is the way to do it. On deleting/renaming a type, it would take
too much time to see if the type is still used somewhere, so custom types
are never deleted.
To work around that, one changes everywhere this custom type is used, and
then via export to xml, and import in an empty family tree, the custom type
is removed.
