1. A computer-implemented method of removing stored data associated with a database object, the method comprising: assigning a new and previously unused key prefix to an existing database object to disassociate stored data from an old key prefix, resulting in an empty database object that is void of data; updating a graphical representation of a table to reflect the empty database object; and presenting the graphical representation of the table to a user, wherein: each entry in the existing database object is uniquely associated with a respective custom entity identifier that begins with the old key prefix; and each entry in the updated database object is uniquely associated with a respective custom entity identifier that begins with the new and previously unused key prefix.
