That deletes the "factory type info" (FTI) object from portal_types, not 
the class. But perhaps that's what you meant? If your type used a custom 
class rather than the standard Item or Container, the FTI holds a 
reference to the class. So removing the FTI would take you one step 
closer to being able to safely delete the code for the class.

Instead of writing custom upgrade coe you could remove the FTI in 
types.xml in your GenericSetup profile, by specifying remove="true" for 
the FTI object.
