TObject.Destroy destructor
TObject destructor.Declaration
destructor Destroy; virtualDescription
Destroy is the destructor of
TObject.
It will clean up the memory assigned to the instance. Descendent classes
should override destroy if they want to do additional clean-up. No other
destructor should be implemented.
It is bad programming practice to call Destroy directly. It is
better to call the Free method, because that
one will check first if Self is different from Nil.
To clean up an instance and reset the reference to the instance, it is best to use the FreeAndNil function.
