In the restconfig module? :-)
The beans handling the requests, and their path mapping, are all declared
here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/restconfig/src/main/java/applicationContext.xml

If I had to implement data removal I'd add a flag/header to the DELETE
request to do so,
and add the call to dropSchema here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/restconfig/src/main/java/org/geoserver/catalog/rest/FeatureTypeResource.java#L272

Hope this helps

Cheers
Andrea
