# deleteCollection

*Command · Object Manipulation · Arma 3 v0.50 · introduced in Armed Assault v1.00*

## Description

Delete a collection. As example, used with a soldier, it'll hide the ingame model.

*When targetting Arma 2 1.06 or newer, use [hideObject](../commands/hideObject.md) instead. This function is a relic from dynamic building destruction development. It is left only for compatibility with scripts created before Arma 2 1.06, and its functionality may be changed or removed in the future.*

```sqf
deleteCollection object
```

**Parameters:**

- `object`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

deleteCollection unitName;
```
