That doesn't even make sense The Datastore has no concept of 'table'.
All Entities - regardless of their kind- are stored in one 'bigtable' - they are all intermingled. In fact all Entities from everyone's apps are stored in the same bigtable. So to delete a 'table' - which is really just all entities of a given kind for a given app - would need to loop though and delete each individual entity. Once there are no entities of a given kind/model left, the 'kind' has effectively been dropped. I would guess need to check you aren't somehow using the application version in the Kind name or even the key?. Then when the application is updated, the version changes and therefore the old entities become inaccessible.
