This command deletes the windows given by the *window* arguments, plus all of their descendants. If a *window* “.” is deleted then all windows will be destroyed and the application will (normally) exit. The *window*s are destroyed in order, and if an error occurs in destroying a window the command aborts without destroying the remaining windows. No error is returned if *window* does not exist.

Destroy all checkbuttons that are direct children of the given widget:

```
proc killCheckbuttonChildren {parent} {


   foreach w [winfo children $parent] {


      if {[winfo class $w] eq "Checkbutton"} {


         destroy $w


      }


   }
}
