There are a number of things that will prevent destroyStack from working. It will fail if the stack is in use, if there is an open socket, if there is an open driver, and maybe some other things I can't remember. Basically, if any part of the stack is still in operation it can't be purged.

Hmmm... I have all three set on my mainstack and when I close it, the stack and 
it's substacks are not in memory. However, stacks I started using are.

To answer my own question, although the Property Inspector will allow you to 
set both the destroyStack and cantDelete properties of a stack to true, 
cantDelete (when true) blocks destroyStack. I’d set cantDelete to true so that 
I wouldn’t accidentally delete a stack or sub stack. But generally, when I 
close a stack I want it removed from memory. So I’ve set cantDelete to false 
for now.

I have all my stacks configured with destroyStack and destroyWindow (gotta love 
those names!) set to true. And yet after I close them, if I check the 
revLoadedStacks() it shows that they and their subStacks are still loaded in 
memory. What do I need to do to get them out of memory?? Using LC 9.0.1 (rc3). 
I don’t see “obliterateStacks” in the dictionary ;)
