Destroy

methods

Prepares the Upload for a safe removal from the DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes the jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls the destroy method of any child Kendo UI widget.

The destroy method does not remove the Upload element from the DOM.

destroy

<input type="file" name="files" id="upload" />
<script>
    $("#upload").kendoUpload({
        select: function () {
            //sample event
        }
    });

    var upload = $("#upload").data("kendoUpload");

    // Detaches events and prepares for a safe removal
    upload.destroy();
</script>
