You simply drop your own references to it, and it will eventually disappear on it’s own. It is only held by weak references inside the ChatManager so it will get GC’ed eventually.
You should probably remove your listeners as well though, if you don’t want to receive any more chat messages while the Chat class is waiting to be GC’ed.
