Is there any way to delete CDT's which are not in application but exists in Environment at once across all environments?

Hi All,

I have some CDT's (in all environments DEV/TEST/STAGE/PROD) which were used previously and now I no longer require those CDT's. So I have used "Remove From APP" option to remove those CDT's from the application and so it reflects same across all the environments when I export the application. Now I see those CDT's as high risk in Appian Health Check affecting some performance issues since those were just removed from application but exists still in environment (under System --> Data Management --> Data Types) and wanted to delete them permanently from the system. I have deleted them from DEV environment manually going through System tab.

My question is If I want to delete those unwanted CDT's from system, do I have to access each environment manually and go through System tab--> Data Management in order to delete those CDT's  or is there any other way?
