📄Description

delete stops timer objects and invalidates their handles. After deletion, isvalid returns false for those handles.

Delete timers when they are no longer needed. A deleted timer cannot be restarted.

💡Examples

Delete a timer after it has finished running.

t = timer('StartDelay', 0.1, ...
  'TimerFcn', @(src, event) disp('done'));
start(t);
wait(t);
delete(t);
isvalid(t)

Delete a running timer. The timer is stopped before the handle is invalidated.

t = timer('ExecutionMode', 'fixedSpacing', ...
  'Period', 0.2, ...
  'TimerFcn', @(src, event) disp('tick'));
start(t);
delete(t);
isvalid(t)
