Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss.?

When I try and use Destroy(); in my C# script it gives me the error Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss. But destroy works in any of my javascript scripts? Here’s the C# script I’m trying to use it in.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class obstacle_generation : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public GameObject obstacle;
	float x = 0;
	float z = -3.802516f;
	
	void Update () {
		float y = Random.Range(3.042949f, 6.350356f);
		if(x < 10) {
			Instantiate(obstacle, new Vector3(x * 7.5f, y, z),Quaternion.identity);
			x++;
		}

		if (obstacle.transform.position.x > -8) {

			Destroy(obstacle);

		}
	}
}

This is because the variable obstacle is referencing the asset. What you need to do, is change

Instantiate(obstacle, new Vector3(x * 7.5f, y, z),Quaternion.identity);

to

obstacle = (GameObject) Instantiate(obstacle, new Vector3(x * 7.5f, y, z),Quaternion.identity);

Instead of destroying the instantiated object you were trying to destroy, you were actually attempting to destroy the original due to not assigning obstacle as the instantiated object.

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) {
prefabCopy = Instantiate (prefab, new Vector3 (0.0f, 1.0f, i * 1.0f), Quaternion.identity);
Destroy (prefabCopy, 2.0f);
i++;
}
}
}

I do something like this… And work perfectly…

If you Don’t want to Destroy Object From variable but destroy object in game Do this.

Instantiate(particlefx, .transform.position , Quaternion.identity);

Destroy(GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Particle"), 1.5f);
