Prefab to destroy

I know this is a newbie question but is it possible to destroy my prefab or make it dissapear after a few seconds it spawned?

                                      /thanks 

You can use this for destroying the prefab:

Click me!

And this for "hideing" the gameObject instead of destroying it:

 GameObject.active = false; // For disableing

 GameObject.active = true; // For enableing.  

This will disable everything on the gameObject. Colliders, renderer, light you name it.

Any questions please ask :)
