Hi. I have created a custom object by “post /crm/v3/schemas”. I have deleted it by “delete /crm/v3/schemas/object\_id”. When I “get /crm/v3/schemas” I don’t get this new custom object. But when I try again “post /crm/v3/schemas” a get **“category”:“OBJECT\_ALREADY\_EXISTS”,“subCategory”:“InboundDbObjectTypeError.OBJECT\_TYPE\_ALREADY\_EXIST”**  
I deleted custom object with  
1. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object\_id  
2. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object\_id/purge  
3. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object\_id?archived=true  
4. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object\_id/purge?archived=true  
Frontend settings → objects → custom objects ([https://app.hubspot.com/sales-products-settings/XXXXX/object/YYYY](https://app.hubspot.com/sales-products-settings/XXXXX/object/YYYY)) don’t show my custom object (API after new POST say “already exists”)  
Please help me.

@barteksonarhome are you using the object id formatted with the dash (e.g. 2-xxx)?

I encountered a similar issue when using call #1, but as soon as I used #3, I was able to recreate a new custom object using the same name.

DELETE [https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/schemas/2-xxx?archived=true](https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/schemas/2-xxx?archived=true)

@KyleParkerUnfortunately I use object id formatted p{accout\_id}object\_name.

Ok, I tried multiple times to delete schema by p-start id and 2-start id. Now object successfully deleted.

But still, I don’t know how to  
1. Create custom\_object type Foo  
2. Delete custom\_object type Foo  
3. Create the same custom\_object type Foo

Anybody knows how to do it?

[@webdew](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/131510) I already use this API. Please read my first message.  
I have quite a good solution.

```lia-code-sample
for 1..100 do
 post /crm/v3/schemas { FOO } -> FOO id = 2-111111
 delete /crm/v3/schemas/2-111111
 delete /crm/v3/schemas/2-111111?archived=true
 delete /crm/v3/schemas/2-111111/purge
 post /crm/v3/schemas { FOO } -> FOO id = 2-222222
 result = get /crm/v3/schemas
 if result includes FOO => success += 1
end

```

the success rate is around 60%. For HubSpot API is a pretty good result 🙂  
Thanks for all answers!
