## Description

Calling the destructor of an owned component has as the effect that the component will remove itself from the list of owned components, if nothing has disrupted the sequence of destructors.

## Errors

If an overridden 'destroy' method does not call it's inherited destructor or raises an exception, it's TComponent.Destroy destructor will not be called, which may result in an endless loop.
