This command deletes UI objects such as windows and controls. Deleting a layout or window will also delete all of its children. If a flag is used then all objects being deleted must be of the specified type. This command may not be edited or queried. NOTE: it is recommended that the type flags be used to disambiguate different kinds of objects with the same name.
