Unable to delete custom objects

I'm trying to erase 2 custom objects from my sandbox but for some reason the option is greyed out. I've erased a one-to-many object before but it seems that this many-to-many setup does not want to leave.

Per the docs: "If the custom object is linked to an intermediary object, you must delete the intermediary object first." I'm trying to erase the intermediary object but unable to do so. I've erased all the fields on it that I could too but still nothing but a greyed out delete option.

Can you add a screenshot of where you're trying to delete the intermediary object? Or copy any error text you're getting?

No errors, just do not have the option.

Hi Tony,

Have you tried to remove one or the 2 link fields before trying to erase the object?

I have, but when I go to field actions, no dropdown actions show for linked fields. For unlinked fields I can see delete just fine.

Hi Tony,

I observe the same thing on my own instance. Weird...

It seems to be that it will take support help

I would not be surprised if it was linked to licensing issues...

Keep us posted of what support says.
