The fact types 'Apprenticeship Description', 'Apprenticeship City', 'Assigned Apprenticeship' and 'Apprenticeship Preference' contain roles played by 'Apprenticeship'. By deleting 'Apprenticeship' these roles would become obsolete. Therefore these fact types will be removed along with 'Apprenticeship'. By removing these fact types the label type description becomes useless... etc. Nearly the complete information grammar would be removed.

3. Click Cancel to prevent the deletion of 'Apprenticeship'!
