Deleting Nurbs Curve in Python

I have a Rhino.Geometry.NurbsCurve object in python and I'm trying to figure out how to delete it. The only way I know how to delete something is using it's Id, but I don't have the Id, just the NurbsCurve instance. Is there a way to get the Id from a NurbsCurve instance?

Hi Wesley,

Are you using a ghPython component or Rhino Python Editor?
If your NurbeCurve hasn't been added to the Rhino or Grasshopper document, you can't retrieve its id.

Could you try to just delete the variable that contains the NurbsCurve by using "del"?

In addition to the great answer by Djordje, just by not referencing the variable in your code any longer, at a certain point the .Net garbage collector will kick in and release memory.

Was your answer concerning that aspect? Or what other aspect of deletion were you after?
