Description

1. Created a type
2. Created entity for the type.
3. Tried to delete the type using

 /api/atlas/v2/types/typedefs

which failed with 409 Conflict

{"errorCode":"ATLAS-409-00-002","errorMessage":"Given type testType has references"}

4.Deleted the entity created for the type . status of the entity is DELETED.
5. Issued the same delete request for the type again . Even though there are no ACTIVE instances for the type and no other type has reference to this type, type deletion is failing with the same exception.

This might cause issues when user wants to delete the type and recreate type with same name.
