Peter, Have you tried setting the destroyStack to true before deleting it?
set the destroyStack of myStack to true Quote from the LC Dictionary; "destroyStack Summary: Specifies whether a stack is purged from memory when it's closed, or whether it remains in memory. Value: The destroyStack of a stack is true or false. By default, the destroyStack property of newly created stacks is set to false."
