Destroying (deleted) value list item with list connected to external database.

Found a work around in the last hour. I temporarily disconnect the database connection to be able to change deleted items. I input the GUID into my M-Files Server Application to get the ObjID and use the ObjID to set the External ID to "Not available". Then after reconnecting the database I am able to create a new value list item.

Here is my code if anyone is interested:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using MFilesAPI;

namespace RemoveValueListItem
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Vault kageVault = null;
            try
            {
                var mfServerApplication = new MFilesServerApplication();

                mfServerApplication.Connect(MFAuthType.MFAuthTypeLoggedOnWindowsUser);
                VaultsOnServer vaults = mfServerApplication.GetVaults();
                foreach (VaultOnServer vault in vaults)
                {
                    if(vault.Name == "Kage")
                    {
                        kageVault = vault.LogIn();
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Failed to connect to M-Files");
            }
            
            if (kageVault != null)
            {
                var objID = kageVault.ObjectOperations.GetObjIDByGUID("{B343C430-4C9D-4FAF-A2AD-4F2F361E1EAA}");
                kageVault.ObjectOperations.SetExternalID(objID, "Not available");
                MessageBox.Show("ID Changed");
            }
        }
    }
}
