I don’t know why the process to permanently delete objects from Salesforce was hard for me to find today (was looking for a link to send to someone on Trailhead) but I did not find any succinct answer before my AADD kicked in, so here are the steps:
- Switch to Classic mode
- Go to Setup, then Custom Objects (search for Objects or scroll to Build > Create > Objects)
- At the bottom of the list there will be Deleted Objects (#) if there are any (sometimes referred to as the Recycle Bin, as I believe that was the pre-Lightning name of the section).
- From there you can permanently delete them before they go away on their own after 15 days.
Hope this helps someone!
