How to destroy the instances that doesn't have a parent

I accidently let my plugin script add a lot of no parent instances to the game. How to Destroy them. Or if they cannot be destroyed, will they influence the memery?

#2

Are they in a certain service or in the data model? You should be able to put game.(part name):Destroy()

If there are no references to them (which I very much assume is the case since you made them accidentally with a plugin) the garage collector will automatically clear them and their memory footprint

Even if that wasn’t the case, I highly highly doubt parts parented to nil are saved when you close the game (it wouldn’t make any sense)

#4

I didnt set the parent property of the instance that created by Instance.new() function.
For example:

local part = Instance.new()
part.Name = "a"
part.Color = Color3.new(1,1,1)

Thats all.
game[Instance.Name]:Destroy() didn’t work. There’s no auto complete and code will throw a “not valid member” error.

#5

Oh then the parts don’t exist. If it threw an invalid member error, it’s probably not parented to anything and you’ll be fine.
