[OpenLayers-Users] Deleting a Vector Layer - How?

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi. You should do removeLayer(layer) to remove it from the layer and
layer.destroy() to destroy it and therefore avoid memory leaks. The
way you do it does seem ok to except you do destroyFeatures twice
since it's done in destroy. If "removeLayer then layer.destroy()"
fails it most probably means there's a bug in OpenLayers. Eric
