I can't seem to delete a particular custom object. I am getting an error that it is in use by a Navigation Topic Item. I have looked through my three community nagivation bars & can't see a reference to it. I see it as a tab in Classic but don't see a way to get rid of it. I am not sure where I should be looking for this or how to figure out where it is. When I click on the error message, I receive an Insufficient Privileges error even though I am logged in with system admin rights. I am including the images I am seeing. enter image description hereenter image description here

I solved this problem by deleting the navigation menu option in the portal that previously pointed to the custom object that I was trying to delete. The menu option did not currently point to the object - it instead pointed to a community page. However, the navigation must have still had some kind of tie to the object because once I deleted the navigation option, I was able to delete the custom object.

  • Vou saved my life! Thanks for this answer. So sad that salesforce can not link to the place where the deletion is prevented. I would have never found it without you.

Click on the navigation menu item that delete screen is pointing you and then remove the reference from the navigation menu and then try deleting it again .

If a custom object is referenced somewhere then the platform does not allow you to delete the object without removing the reference .

  • When I click on the navigation menu item link I receive the insufficient privileges page. I have deleted custom object before - removed apex page references, etc. I don't understand what is going on in this situation.

  • I would pull the metadata here via ANT migration tool or any IDE and examine the metadata and search for object reference m
