Is there a way to write better, more efficient code?

We are not allowed to delete any other objects unless there are 2 or more objects active in database. But, if $object == 'dtr_codes' we should be able to delete/disable everything in database.

if($object == 'dtr_codes'){

               DB::table($object)->where('id', $id)
                                 ->update(['deleted' => 1]);

                $success = true;

} else {

                if(DB::table($object)->where('deleted', 0)->whereNull('deleted_at')->count() > 1) {

                     DB::table($object)->where('id', $id)
                                       ->update(['deleted' => 1);
                     $success = true;

                } else {

                    $success = false;

                } //end if 
            }//end if

My initial code is working. I just need help to make code shorter.
