Depends on whether you specifically need to destroy the object (e.g. to
clean up allocated memory), or just have the user think it's
disappeared.

If the latter, just disable it  and/or make it invisible.  This has the
advantage that you can conveniently make it reappear.  There are
properties for enabling, disabling, or setting visibility for most
visual components.
