Can I disable a contact record type manually in the production org?

I know that some options that are in the sandbox might not be in production.
I'll have to disable a costum record type of Contact in production org. I need to know if it's possible to do it manually link in Sandbox or if I'll have to create a deploy package.

Another question:  Will I be able to deselect this record type from the  profiles that are using it in Production Org?

Hi Caroline,

Yes you can disable in production instance,  however it is suggestable to make changes in sandbox instance and do testing to confirm no functionality is breaking and later move components to production.

First you would need to unplug reference on profile and later disable record type.  Try using VS code, change set or workbench to move changes to production

Hope above information was helpful.
