Unfortunately there isn't a service for this, but you could do this with a REST API Delete call.

Here's what I recorded from composer

1. Request URL:
   https://<ServerName:Port>/Thingworx/DataShapes/MyNewDataShapePai?Accept=application%2Fjson&Content-Type=application%2Fjson
2. Request Method:
   DELETE

Hi, Thank you for the reply.

I was trying to create one Data Shape thru services, datashape having a infotable field and am attaching a datashape along with the infotable. However new datashape is created with infotable as field but without datashape attached with it.

Please find my code below,

https://community.ptc.com/t5/ThingWorx-Developers/How-to-Create-Data-shape-Through-Service-in-Thingworx/m-p/605676#M35598

var fields = { dataShape: {"fieldDefinitions":
{"fieldName1":
{"name":"info",
"aspects":{},
"description":"",
"baseType":"INFOTABLE",
"dataShape":"TestDS6",
"ordinal":1}
}

},
rows: []
};

var params = {
name: 'TestDS7' /* STRING */,
description: undefined /* STRING */,
fields: fields /* INFOTABLE */,
tags: undefined /* TAGS */
};

// no return
Resources["EntityServices"].CreateDataShape(params);

suggest a solution for me.
