From the message, the problem may be that the issue is with the UI getting the case wrong, as the message refers to crc09_Customers (with an uppercase C). As a workaround, try opening the Dynamics 365 organisation for the environment, go to Settings, Customisations, Customize the System, and see if you can delete the entity from there

David is right,
i tested and the issue is that the new power apps UI is confused with the case of the entity name.
for example, try to create an new entity and name it "Test Entity" in the display name then save it.
now, even that the name (not display name) is clearley "***_testentity", you will get an error that "***_TestEntity" (note the upper case) is not found.

now try to create an entity and in display name enter "test entity 2" (all lower), save it then delete it it will be deleted without problems.

so you have 2 work arounds:
1-create the enttity with display name all lower case, then after saving it, open the entity, then click "settings" in the upper right corner and change back the display name to the correspongin case

2-use the classsic solution explorer:
login to "https://web.powerapps.com"
cllick "Solutions" on the left pane
in the upper menu click "Switch to Classic"
click "Common data services default solution" link in the list taht appears
in the left pane, under "Components" expand "Entities". click the entity you want to delete. When it opens, in the upper menu click "Delete". Confirm you action and it should work
Hope this helps

Hi @JohnP ,

Do you mean that you could not delete the custom Entity from your CDS?

I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. Please consider clear cache of your browser, then try it again, check if the issue is solved.

If the issue still exists, please consider go to your Dynamics 365 instance (the CDS related to), then click "Customizations"-> "Customized the System" option, then you could delete the Entity from there:

Best regards,

Thanks a lot. I deleted the entity from the classic view. I hope they fix this bug in the new interface 🙂
