Delete a content type programmatically in Drupal 7

This is what i put as an update hook in a .install file:

<?php
/**
 * Delete unused content types.
 *
 * Adapted from node_type_delete_confirm_submit().
 */
function anjaliup_update_7005() {
 
$types = array(
   
'simplenews',
  );

  foreach(

$types as $type) {
   
node_type_delete('simplenews');
   
variable_del('node_preview_' . $type);
  }

 

node_types_rebuild();
 
menu_rebuild();
}
?>
