Find number of objects in a scene

I am using GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag(“ObjectNeeded”).Length to count the number of specific object in a scene. Before this, I use Destroy to remove this specific object. As a result, I find that the number returned is not very accurate.
I guess there are some delay between Destroy function call and actual removal of objects. Is there any better way to do this? Thanks.

My advice would be to change the tag of the object you’re destroying, so it won’t be included in the search.

The objects are instantiated in a local function so I do not have reference for them. That's why I use tags to find them and destroy them. Are there still other ways besides defining a list of objects to have reference for them? Thanks.

Cant you use FindGameObjectsOfType to return an array of objects? Won't that work for you.

I guess I misunderstood Alec Slayden's advice. Changing tags before destroying them works for me. Thanks a lot
