destroy

Prepares the widget for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the Editor element from DOM.

Example

<textarea id="editor"></textarea>
<script>
$("#editor").kendoEditor();
var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
editor.destroy();
</script>
