How can I delete store view by id programmatically?

Answer 1

If you look at the Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/System/StoreController.php file there is the deleteStorePostAction(), the following code is used (just like every other Magento model can delete a record):

$model = Mage::getModel('core/store')->load($itemId);
$model->delete();
