Umbraco V7 deleting properties via content type service

Question

quick Umbraco V7 question. I'm trying to programmatically remove a load of Vorto properties from a V7 site prior to upgrading, however I keep hitting 'Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.' error when running the following code:

var contentTypes = _contentTypeService.GetAllContentTypes();
        foreach (var cts in contentTypes.Where(x => x.Id != 10546))
        {

            var vortoPropsToDelete = cts.PropertyTypes.Where(x => x.PropertyEditorAlias == "Our.Umbraco.Vorto");

            foreach (var vortoProp in vortoPropsToDelete)
            {
                cts.RemovePropertyType(vortoProp.Alias);
            }
            _contentTypeService.Save(cts);
        }

I can't work out were I'm going wrong...

Umbraco v7's GetAllContentTypes method returns a System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Guid> type and you are trying to update your GetAllContentTypes collection before you are finished iterating, hence you see this error.

Try to convert your collection to a list, update your code for this and that should work.
