I know that :Destroy() is to remove the items. I know that debris is also to remove the items but with a delay. Is that right and are there any more differences?

Most of this was text from the Wiki.
Debris is used when you need a fixed lifetime to destroy something instead of using
wait(3)
obj:Destroy()
for example. Debris does not yield the current thread, does not require a new thread and will not error if the object is already destroyed.
Destroy does exactly what it sounds like, but will error if the object is not found. There are a number of issues with the Destroy approach. Firstly, it requires yielding the code with a wait, which is not always desirable. Secondly, before the 3 seconds have elapsed the object may have already been destroyed. You can read about Debris here. Each one has it's own use.
Hope's this helps! If it did, please accept this answer!
