Remarks

Destroys the list's items, the classes of the object type, the views and similar elements that use it, the external locations that create objects of the type, and the type's owner, default and conflict property definitions. This cannot be undone.
Requires change_metadata_structure and license_allows_modifications.
Fails for built-in object types and value lists, for a type or list that owns another one, for a real object type that still has objects (destroy them first), and when other property definitions are based on the list (the error names them).
For an external object type only the cached items are removed; the external database is not touched.
Increments the metadata structure version.

Nested message fields are expanded to depth 3; follow a type link for deeper levels and for the type's own page.

Field	Type	Description
`object_type`	`int32`	The ID of the object type to remove.

No fields.
