destroy

Prepares the Calendar for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the Calendar element from DOM.

Example

<div id="calendar"></div>
<script>
    $("#calendar").kendoCalendar();

    var calendar = $("#calendar").data("kendoCalendar");

    calendar.destroy();
</script>
