Deleting User Objects in Master Database

This script erases everything in the master database that is not Microsoft-shipped. Be careful: some user objects belong in the master database (database triggers, security objects, for example). Backing up the master database first would be a prudent step.

-- Drops all user objects that have been accidentally created in the master database.
USE master

DECLARE @sName     sysname
DECLARE @sTypeDesc NVARCHAR(1024)
DECLARE @sType     NVARCHAR(1024)
DECLARE @nScore    INT
DECLARE @sSql      NVARCHAR(1024)

DECLARE TheCursor CURSOR FOR
 SELECT name, type_desc
   FROM sys.objects
  WHERE is_ms_shipped = 0

OPEN TheCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM TheCursor
 INTO @sName, @sTypeDesc

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
 SET @sType  = REVERSE(@sTypeDesc)
 SET @nScore = CHARINDEX('_', @sType)
 SET @sType  = SUBSTRING(@sType, 0, @nScore)
 SET @sType  = REVERSE(@sType)

 SET @sSql = 'DROP ' + @sType + ' ' + @sName
 RAISERROR('%s', 10, 1, @sSql) WITH NOWAIT 
 EXEC sp_sqlexec @sSql
 
 FETCH NEXT FROM TheCursor
  INTO @sName, @sTypeDesc
END

CLOSE TheCursor
DEALLOCATE TheCursor

PRINT 'Done.'

If your database has multiple schemas other than dbo or whatever your logged in user defaults to, modify the cursor as follows

SELECT s.name + '.' + o.name, o.type_desc
FROM sys.objects o
join sys.schemas s on s.schema_id=o.schema_id
WHERE o.is_ms_shipped = 0
