How to delete a view programatically?
It's crazy I can't find proper answer for such a simple question.
Views has a function in it called views_delete_view, it takes a view object as a param. Try views_delete_view($yourloaded_view), that should do the trick.
Give a try to the following code to delete the view:
// Check the view id the one that you are looking for.
if ($view = views_get_view($name)) {
// Delete the view if it is the one that you are looking for.
views_delete_view($view);
}

Thanks. Anyone can explain why I have to use this syntax: $view->delete(); ? Above it there is views_delete_view($view) function already, which (as @Jance said) should do the trick. – David Sep 23 '14 at 18:26

1You don't. Just use the first two lines, up to
views_delete_view. This answer is way more elaborate than necessary:views_delete_viewcalls$view->delete();and then thedeletemethod does the cache invalidation. – user49 Sep 23 '14 at 18:51 -
@chx Thanks for correcting. I have updated the answer. @David Please ignore the
$view->delete();, if required you may check the answer now. – Ankit Agrawal Sep 23 '14 at 19:03
