(Unity) Destroy a gameObject in the current scene and keep it permanently destroyed even after loading current scene?

How do I destroy a gameObject permanently? That is, I want the gameObject to be there only once before if I destroy it in the current scene and then when I reload the same scene, I want it to be disabled/destroyed. How do I achieve this?

Edit: Or the below script can run only once with a bool variable?

void Update()
{
  if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)
  {
    GameObject go = GameObject.Find("Cloner");
    Destroy(go);
    SceneManager.LoadScene("Home");
  }
}

I threw together this simple script for permanently destroying pickup items in my game even as the player switches between scenes. Just attach it to the single-use item GameObject and give it a unique name.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class DontRespawn : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static List<string> pickedUpObjs = new List<string>();

    void Start()
    {
        if (pickedUpObjs.Contains(gameObject.name))
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }

    void OnDestroy()
    {
        pickedUpObjs.Add(gameObject.name);
    }
}

I did it by using DontDestroyOnLoad() in the function

void Awake()

static bool created = false;
public bool Loading = true;

void Awake()
{
  if(!created)
  {
    DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
    created = true;
  }
  else
  {
  Destroy(this.gameObject);
  }
}

void Update()
{
  if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A) && LoadingOnce == true)
  {
    GameObject go = GameObject.Find("Cloner");
    Destroy(go);
    LoadingOnce = false;
    SceneManager.LoadScene("Home");
  }
}
