Hi,
I've created custom tables with Bob's guides (https://bobsguides.com/custom-db-tables.html) and that works fine. my class is called 'Vote'

Now i want to remove/delete the whole collection (votes) in that custom table using
```
$modx->removeCollection( 'vote', array() );
```
But that does not seem to work. in the error log i see
```
Could not get table name for class: vote
```
and
```
 xPDO->removeCollection - Error deleting vote instances using query DELETE FROM  
```
I did do the addpackage on top of my script and that works fine
```
$modx->addPackage( 'vote', $path . 'model/', 'lhm_' );
```
anyone know what i'm doing wrong? or is removeCollection not meant for custom classes?

Tnx
RDG

Never mind,
i figured it out
instead of
```
$modx->removeCollection( 'vote', array() );
```
i need to use
```
$modx->removeCollection( 'Vote', array() );
```
the Capital V for the class name did the trick
