Best method for deleting keys/values?

[rduke1982]

I'm using keys temporarily. To avoid having them pile up in the memory, I want to delete them once I'm done. I'm not sure how.

Would setting to "nil" work?

i.e.,

defsave.set("name", "keys", { v1 = nil, v2 = nil })

They keys are part of a file called "upgrades". The saved values are the costs. Once the object is upgraded, saving the costs is no longer necessary.

Additionally, how would the process work for deleting a key (not values) from memory? Maybe that would be an easier approach.

nil will work for both!
