How Do I Delete Items In A Player's Backpack

Basically how do I delete items in a player’s backpack through a server script.

I tried doing this, but it doesn’t work and there are no errors

local items = player.Backpack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
		player.items:Destroy()

Tools that are unequipped will be in the Backpack, and tools that are equipped will be within the character. If you want to delete a certain tool from the player (in the backpack and character), you could try doing this:

local itemName = "Cup" --Change this
if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(itemName) and player.Backpack[itemName]:IsA("Tool") then
    player.Backpack.Cup:Destroy()
end --Destroy Non-Equipped tool in inventory / Backpack
if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild(itemName) and player.Character[itemName]:IsA("Tool") then
    player.Character[itemName]:Destroy()
end --Destroy Equipped Tool

If you want to remove ALL tools in a backpack, you can do

for _, tool in ipairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    if tool:IsA("Tool") then
        tool:Destroy()
    end
end --Deletes all tools from Backpack
if player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
    player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool"):Destroy()
end --Deletes Equipped Tool
