I want to code a scheduled job to delete all the orphan blocks. I created them programatically, all are of the same typeblock. I'm not sure how to select and delete this blocks programatically from a scheduled job.
Regards.

Hi,

You could try to use this code snippet:

  var contentType = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>().List().FirstOrDefault(ct=>ct.ModelType == typeof(JumbotronBlock));
            var contentList = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ContentStore>().ListContentOfContentType(contentType, false).ToList();
            var contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentRepository>();
            var contentCount = contentList.Count;
            for (int i = 0; i < contentCount; i++)
            {
                var contentUsage = contentList[i];
                contentRepository.Delete(contentUsage.ContentLink, false, AccessLevel.NoAccess);
            }
