ClearAllChildren
Unsafe
For thread safety, this property is not safe to read in an unsynchronized thread.
This function destroys all of an Instance’s children.
As Instance/Destroy also calls itself on the children of an object it is used on, this function will destroy all descendants.
Alternatives to ClearAllChildren
If the developer does not wish to destroy all descendants, they should use Instance/GetChildren or Instance/GetDescendants to loop through an object and select what to destroy. For example, the following code sample will destroy all parts in an object.
for _, instance in pairs(object:GetDescendants()) do
if instance:IsA("BasePart") then
instance:Destroy()
end
end
