I have been looking into memory leak management for angularjs and I have came across $destroy but in JavaScript there is already a delete keyword. Is there a difference between the two?

In JavaScript delete operator removes a property from an object; if no more references to the same property are held, it is eventually released automatically.

var Employee = {
  firstname: "Mohammed",
  lastname: "Haddad"
}

console.log(Employee.firstname);
// expected output: "Mohammed"

delete Employee.firstname;

console.log(Employee.firstname);
// expected output: undefined

In angular , $scope.$destroy() is executed it will remove all listeners registered via $on on that $scope.

$scope.$on("$destroy", function() {
});
