How to delete custom record types from database end

I am developing custom application. The workflow can not be updated.

There is some update in the workflow and I cant update it.

If I create new record type, I will have to update references wherever this record is being refferred.

I dont mind recreating the record type but I need to clean up reference of the existing record type. Deleting a custom record from Studio is not supported.

So my query is that can I manipulate the data at database level so custom record definition/configuration is all cleaned up.

Best regards

    The delete button is like a soft delete system prevents me from using name again. Thats my concern. 

    I understand that manipulation at the data base is risky because the interelationship between various tables and/or records is not obviously revealed.

    My aim is to get rid of old entity so that I can create new with the same name. At least I should be able to rename the faulty entity.

    Any insightful information about data relationship would help me in a great manner.
