Schema Builder displays a list of side effects when you try to delete a custom object. Be sure you’re ready to accept these side effects before finalizing the deletion.

1. Click ![object in new window](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/actions_menu.png) on the custom object’s icon.
2. Select **Delete Object...**.
    
    A dialog box displays that explains the side effects of deleting an object. Read this information carefully.
3. If you accept the conditions, select **Yes, I want to delete the custom object.**
4. Click **Delete**.
