Normally, one binds whatever references one needs, and lets the garbage
collector clean them up once they fall out of scope. If the references
are living beyond their usefulness, that's probably a sign that your
code isn't modular enough; short, focussed functions might help. But
this is all diagnosis without seeing the symptoms.

Perhaps it's beyond time that you explained what you're trying to
achieve that you think “destroy an instance” will help.
