I'm trying to make sure that a plugin deletes the underlying data of the
requested layer and not
just an internal reference to the layer inside GeoServer. I've
implemented removeSchema to do this,
but I'm not sure whether passing a DELETE request to /layers/<l> will
actually invoke that method.
Where is the code hook inside the GS source that actually handles the
delete request.
More generally, how can I find the corresponding source code for the REST
API calls, so I can trace
down what I should expect for other calls in the future?
In the restconfig module? 
The beans handling the requests, and their path mapping, are all declared
here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/restconfig/src/main/java/applicationContext.xml
If I had to implement data removal I'd add a flag/header to the DELETE
request to do so,
and add the call to dropSchema here:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/restconfig/src/main/java/org/geoserver/catalog/rest/FeatureTypeResource.java#L272
Hope this helps
Cheers
