As the king of France, I got the invasion CB from his Holiness and took the HRE, becoming the emperor. Now, I would like to keep my old title of the king of France, rather than become the HRE. Is it possible to destroy the title and revert to king of France?

To be fair the imperial title wasn't something anyone at the time would want to get rid of..
You can lose the HRE election, and then break free trough independence war, the HRE would still exist though

Aye, you can't destroy it unless you edit or have another Imperial title.

If I were you, I'd take the opportunity to form Francia, destroy the HRE title, and then give the finger to everyone who said "BUT OMG, THEY SHOULDN'T BE EMPIRES?!!!!"

As Roman Emperor, I married a princess of the Holy Roman Empire. After my son inherited, I assassinated the Holy Roman Emperor (my uncle) and used my weak claim to start a claim on the title. After winning, I maintained the Roman Empire as my primary title, and then destroyed the HRE title. It pissed off all the bigger dukes like Lorraine and Swabia, but I made all of the kingdom titles and doled them out, thereby pacifying the de jure vassals and keeping the peace.

You can do it with console commands.....

Open the console. (hold down alt and press "2" "1" on the numerical keyboard (without the quotation marks))
Write "charinfo 1"

Close the console again, same way you opened it.

Find a random landless courtier, outside your own realm.
Hover the mouse over the selected courtiers picture for a few seconds. Note his Character ID, normally a 6 digit code. But can be less. Ie: 576433, 607899 or 70.

Open console again.
Write "give_title e_hre ID#". Ie: "give_title e_hre 576433"


This should transfer the emperial crown to your selected random nobody. But only the Imperial crown, nothings else. No vassals or anything. After a while the title will then autodestruct, since the owner dosn't actually own any land.
