Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss. (878961)

Unity Engine

I finished creating the particles, I configured it so that if the enemy dies the particles appear and then these particles will be destroyed. But when it is going to be destroyed the following error appears:

Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss.
If you really want to remove an asset use DestroyImmediate(theObject, true);
UnityEngine.Object: Destroy (UnityEngine.Object)
Ammo2:OnTriggerEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collider2D) (at Assets/Scripts/Ammo2.cs:26)

What could I do to fix this error?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Munição2 : MonoBehaviour
{
    public ParticleSystem Explosao_Tiro1;

    void Start()
    {
       
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
       
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D outro)
    {
        if(outro.gameObject.CompareTag("Parede"))
        {  
            Instantiate(Explosao_Tiro1, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
            Destroy(gameObject);
            Destroy(Explosao_Tiro1);
        }
    }
}

You can’t destroy the prefab. That’s what you’re doing.

If you save what Instantiate returns, you may destroy that.

In the above code, you are not using what Instantiate() returns

Bro, can you give me an example of how to use this Return please? :frowning: I tried to search on how to use this Return, but it didn’t help much. I’ve been trying to fix this error for hours. ;-;

original: the prefab on disk

copy: the copy of it that was intantiated

Destroy with second argument: destroy it in 2 seconds time

var copy = Instantiate(original);
Destroy(copy, 2.0f);

SUPER-common pattern, used EVERYWHERE in Unity.
