How do I delete an angular $scope variable correctly?

Question

I would like to delete a $scope variable in my controller, how can I do this?

$scope.myVar = ";

This doesn't remove the variable. I want to completely remove it from the $scope. What is the best way to do this performance wise?

Answer 1

delete $scope.myVar;
