I’m getting this error with JSLint: Only properties should be deleted
Why doesn’t it like this? The variable I am attempting to delete is very large, so I was hoping to get a jump on the garbage collection. Is this not ok?
deleteis meant to delete properties on an object, not regular variables (properties on a VariableObject).Instead, you could set all references to the value as
null. JavaScript’s GC will clean it up when it feels it needs to.
