Deleting data models????

[gg]

I am sure I am missing something but once a data model instance is
created, How can you delete it? I understand how to delete instances
with db.delete() but can't figure out how to delete a model from the
data store. Same problem seems to exist in the dataviewer GUI. You can
delete the instances (rows) but not the whole model (table)? Any
help....

From what I understand, there really is no underlying model/table. If
you delete all the instances, you've deleted everything.
As someone else previously posted, if you want to delete everything, do:

for instance in MyModel.all()
instance.delete()

Well I actually tried to delete all the instances from a single model
via the dataviewer and I crashed it : ) now all I get when I try to
view my data with the dataviewer is a server error page.....

Is that happening in production? Either way, you should probably
submit it as an issue in the issue tracker.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list

If you are working in your local dev environment, you can always start
dev_appserver with the --clear_datastore parameter to wipe out all of
your data.

Yes it did happen in production (no dataviewer for dev)... And I did
file it workaround was to re-bulk upload data with same model
name....

There is a data viewer in dev (I do not know how it compares to production):
