[racket] Destroy object ?

The GC finds objects that you cannot refer to and deletes them. All
other objects have some way of getting to them (chains of field
references), so they are not deleted. If you want to delete something,
you can't do it. You can, however, destroy references to it (set them
to #f, for example), so that the GC will eventually discover that they
cannot be reached.

So, you don't have to send things there and you can't get the deleted data back.
