Remove specific instance of component if there are more of same type

Hi, is there a way to remove specific instance of component if there are more components of same type? Say, I have X component that is doing something, when it ends it should delete itself, normally I use

Destroy(GetComponent(typeof(X)));

but there is no quarranty that it will return this specific instance. Also

Destroy(this);

not works too.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

I realize this is a SUPER old post, but I was also trying to achieve this. I figured I’d leave the approach I ended up using just in case anyone else needs it.

        //Get a reference to all of the BoxCollider2D components
        BoxCollider2D[] BoxList = this.GetComponents<BoxCollider2D>();
        //if there are more than 0, then search through each one
        for(int i = 0; i< BoxList.Length;i++)
        {
            //check a paramater here to compare
            if (BoxList*.size.x>.5f)*

{
//execute code for matched parameters
Destroy(BoxList*);*
}
}
Hope this helps @legion_44 or anyone else. Happy coding :slight_smile:
