Proposed Changes

https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/plugins/removal/
contains great instructions on completely removing plugins, but is missing a section related to removing references to uninstalled plugin's object types when editing NetBox permissions.

See this discussion to understand the issue: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/17261

It would be helpful to add a section to the documentation that discusses how to remove entries from the django.contenttypes.models section such that plugins object types do not linger in the permissions section of NetBox.
