ClearAllChildren

Destroys every direct child of the instance.

Syntax

inst:ClearAllChildren() -> nil

Parameters

This function takes no parameters.

Returns

Description

The VM reparents each direct child to nil, which is the same operation as calling :Destroy() on it; grandchildren go with their parent.

The call is instant and cannot be undone.

Example

local folder = Instance.new("Folder", workspace)
Instance.new("Part", folder)
Instance.new("Part", folder)
folder:ClearAllChildren()
print(#folder:GetChildren())  -- 0

Notes

• inst:ClearAllChildren() — Only direct children are touched; the instance itself stays parented.
