data table delete via api?

Is there a way, via the API, to delete a data table?

It seems one of my data tables have way too many data sets (around 30+) and is making my application crash whenever I try to load it unto a test (to delete it) so I need to know if its possible to delete a data table via API, and how.

BTW, what's the maximum data sets a data table can have on Octane v 16.1.100.132 (enterprise)? Anyone?

Thanks in advance
