# Remove an app object

Remove an app object by using the [DestroyObject method](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2024/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/service-doc-destroyobject.htm).

## Example

[](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/Sense_EngineAPI/WorkingWithAppsAndVisualizations/CreateSheets/remove-app-object.htm)

#### The client wants to remove the sheet with identifier SH01.This sheet contains one child.

The client sends:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "method": "DestroyObject",
  "handle": 1,
  "params": [
    "SH01"
  ]
}
```

The engine returns:

```
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "result": {
    "qSuccess": true
  },
  "close": [
    2,
    3
  ]
}
```

The sheet is removed and the handles 2 and 3 cannot be used anymore. In this example, the handle 2 refers to the sheet SH01 and the handle 3 refers to a child of the sheet .

The sheet and its children are removed.
