Destroy qml object

[ashwinrajeev]

How can i instantly delete dynamically created objects?

Not instantly. You can invoke .destroy() on them, but that will merely queue them for deletion at a safe time (basically a deleteLater() from C++ land).

Technically, you could write your own function which gets exposed to QML via Q_INVOKABLE etc, something like: Q_INVOKABLE void deleteImmediatelyAndProbablyCrash(QObject *someObject) { delete someObject; } but it's a bad idea.

I want to empty all children of grid before adding next set of children. But .destroy() only delete the first set children after new children are added.

If you're talking about their visual appearance, why not set visible to false? That should stop them from taking up any space in the visual layout.

But that's a separate issue to the object lifetimes. Why is it important that you delete some before creating others? Are you on a really tight memory budget, or something?
