Unable to remove custom permission level on site collection

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have a permission level that I created (actually copied 'Edit' permisison level) which I cannot delete.The checkbox to pick the level to delete is greyed out in the same way, the ootb levels are.&nbsp;I though this might be because this permission level is in use somewhere, i.e. attached to a security group but I couldn't find evidence that that is the case.&nbsp;Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause of this?&nbsp;Thanks a lot.

Absolutely weir, you should be able to delete your custom permission level...have you also reviewed if the permission level is being used at the different site scopes you have (Site, List / Document Library, Document / Item?

Even if permission level is being used you should still be able to delete it. It'll remove the associated groups and users with permission level from sites or libraries. May be you should try using powershell.

I checked and I couldn't find anthing using this group.I also remove all files/folders with unique permissions on this site collection but I still can't remove this permission level.

Yes, I found a way to delete that permission level with PowerShell. But it would've been nice to have learned what could've caused this. Thanks.
