How do I Delete a Custom Object via API
I'm trying to delete a custom object via the SOAP API. All I can find is info on deleting the records in the object, but not the object itself. I'd like to permanently delete the object as well. I tried the delete method (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_calls_delete.htm) but this seems to be for deleting records; when I make the call I get the error "MALFORMED_ID". I'm passing in the custom object name (ending in __c), but when I describe the object I don't see an id associated with the object. I can also confirm that "deletable" is true for this object. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Tim
To actually delete a custom object definition, you'll need to use the metadata API http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/index.htm.
Allow yourself some learning time on this one. It can take some time and experimentation to become familiar with it.
