delete(obj)removes the job or task object,obj, from the local MATLAB session, and removes it from the cluster’sJobStorageLocation. When the object is deleted, references to it become invalid. Invalid objects should be removed from the workspace with theclearcommand. If multiple references to an object exist in the workspace, deleting one reference to that object invalidates the remaining references to it. These remaining references should be cleared from the workspace with theclearcommand.

When you delete a job object, this also deletes all the task objects contained in that job. Any references to those task objects will also be invalid, and you should clear them from the workspace.

Ifobjis an array of objects and one of the objects cannot be deleted, the other objects in the array are deleted and a warning is returned.

Because its data is lost when you delete an object,deleteshould be used only after you have retrieved all required output data from the effected object.
