As a rule of thumb:

   Objects starting with '_' indicate private objects;
   to be used only for internal tasks, usually not used
   from outside the class.
   Zope's security enforces part of this privacy....

There is an "official" method to delete object:

      "manage_delObjects".

As the name suggests, it deletes a list (!) of objects, identified
by id. Its a method of "ObjectManager".
