Hi,
I would think it is in a padstack in the brd. I would look at my padstacks and 
remove it from the padstack and
Update the brd. You can't remove it from the subclass list like a custom layer. 
You would have to remove it from the padstack.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] how do I delete an unused pad layer from a board database?

Hi,

I hope this isn't a stupid question...
I am having a real issue removing a non-conductor pad stack layer called 
COVERLAY from a board database.   I did not create the database, so I don't 
know how that pad stack layer got created.  Now that I able to create a 
COVERLAY_TOP and COVERLAY_BOTTOM to the source pad stack, I really need to 
delete COVERLAY.
