new and delete means the stack varibles has less stability and compatibility in C++.
and the varible should use "new" to alloc memory, and use "delete" paired to free memory.
everything is fine with i "new" a Menu class obj, and delete it at MenuAction_Select::MenuAction_End.
but I try to avoid it with alonly "delete", so I use KillTimer() but not it.
I'm not able to continue the sql code cause in the first part of the course, it use "delete" with out "new" again.
although it's lke unique_ptr, shared_ptr, weak_ptr in C++ , when how spurcepawn interal works....

that means i can use CloseHandle() instead of "delete" however it's not only for timer but any handle ?

delete was added to basically replace CloseHandle and KillTimer. It can be used for all handles that can be closed.

You can use "delete" on any handle that is closeable. (Timers, DataPacks, Menus, ArrayLists, StringMaps, KeyValues, etc.)

Not all handles are closeable though. (ConVars, Protobufs, etc.)
