deleting a bucket and recreating it does not delete it's views

As reported in the forums:

Since upgrading to DP3 we cannot delete the views within a bucket. If I delete a bucket and then create a new one with the same names all the views will still exist as per the delete bucket. This is making life difficult as we have many views maintained in json text files and if they have been updated then we cannot get the new versions into the database.
