Delete operations will trigger events modifying other global metadata related to the those objects. So this approach requires modification to the application in order to avoid such side effects.

But if you do it from a debug prompt, you can easily prevent those events from being fired. For a normal ObjectManager you do: delattr(root, 'A') # this is what _delOb does root._objects = tuple([i for i in root._objects if i['id'] != 'A']) That's the actually important part of _delObject method, without firing any events or calling any manage_ methods.
