It adds a new custom XML part to the CustomerData collection of the first shape on the first slide of the active presentaion. Then it gets the ID of the new part and passes it to the Delete method.

Dim pptSlide As Slide
Set pptSlide = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
Dim pptShape As Shape
Set pptShape = pptSlide.Shapes(1)
' Get the CustomerData collection of the shape
Dim pptCustomerData As customerData
Set pptCustomerData = pptShape.customerData
' Get the current count of custom XML parts
Debug.Print pptCustomerData.Count
' Add a new CustomXMLPart object to the CustomerData
' collection for this shape and get the revised count of
' custom XML parts
Dim pptCustomXMLPart As CustomXMLPart
Set pptCustomXMLPart = pptCustomerData.Add
Debug.Print pptCustomerData.Count
' Get the ID of the new part
Dim myString As String
myString = pptCustomXMLPart.Id
Debug.Print myString
' Delete the new part and re-check the count of custom XML parts
pptCustomerData.Delete (myString)
Debug.Print pptCustomerData.Count
