How to delete Customfield through Metadata API in Salesforce ?

Here is a facility with the deploy operation to do a forced delete which bypasses the field / custom object recycle bin, however i'm not aware of any on the CRUD metadata options (though worth double checking headers and such like). Other thought would be can you try a second delete operation on the fields deleted name which i think becomes something like Fred_del__c.
