Delete GameObjects from scene in editor (not during play)

unity_q1pZ8A_S5IBFOw · September 3, 2020, 2:45am

I cannot seem to find how to remove a GameObject from a scene that is currently being edited.
I am creating an editor menu that helps manage scene objects and need to replicate what happens when you right click a GameObject in the scene and select Delete.

Destroy seems to be related to objects at runtime, and does not work.

Any help is much appreciated.

Does DestroyImmediate work?

DestroyImmediate did the trick.

Thank you for the help @PraetorBlue
