How do I destroy a tool that is being held in the hand? I have currently done as if the tool is in the backpack it will be destroyed.

01ReplicatedStorage.ShopFunctions:WaitForChild("Ninjago").OnServerInvoke = function(player)
02    if player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 500 and MyDebounce == true and player then
03        MyDebounce = false
04        player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value - 500
05 
06 
07 
08        player.Backpack:ClearAllChildren()
09 
10        ServerStorage.Tools.AzureSword:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
11 
12    end
13end

If the tool is located in his backpack, this is how you would do it:

What you want to do is first create a function to find the tool. Next, create a function to destroy the tool. Here's how:

01local tool = ServerStorage.Tools.AzureSword
02 
03local function FindItemFromBackpack(whichItemName, whichPlayer)
04    local playerBackpack = whichPlayer.Backpack
05    local playerBackpackChilds = playerBackpack:GetChildren()
06 
07    for _, eachItem in pairs(playerBackpackChilds) do
08        if eachItem.Name == whichItemName then
09            return eachItem
10        end
11    end
12end
13 
14local function DestroyTool(whichTool, whichPlayer)
15    -- Look through his backpack
16    local toolInBackpack= FindItemFromBackpack(tool.Name, player)
17    if toolInBackpack then
18        toolInBackpack:Destroy()
19        toolInBackpack = nil
20    end
21end
22 
23ReplicatedStorage.ShopFunctions:WaitForChild("Ninjago").OnServerInvoke = function(player)
24local myDebounce = true
25    if player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 500 and MyDebounce == true and player then
26        MyDebounce = false
27        player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value - 500
28 
29        DestroyTool(tool, player)
30    end
31end

If it's located in his character then you would look through his character and not his backpack. If you want to make sure it's neither in his backpack nor his character then you would look at both of them and destroy the both. Here's how:

01local tool = ServerStorage.Tools.AzureSword
02 
03local function FindItemFromBackpack(whichItemName, whichPlayer)
04    local playerBackpack = whichPlayer.Backpack
05    local playerBackpackChilds = playerBackpack:GetChildren()
06 
07    for _, eachItem in pairs(playerBackpackChilds) do
08        if eachItem.Name == whichItemName then
09            return eachItem
10        end
11    end
12end
13 
14local function FindItemFromCharacter(whichItemName, whichPlayer)
15    local charItems = whichPlayer.Character:GetChildren()
16 
17    for _, eachItem in pairs(charItems) do
18        if eachItem.Name == whichItemName then
19            return eachItem
20        end
21    end
22end
23 
24local function DestroyTool(whichTool, whichPlayer)
25    -- Look through his backpack
26    local toolInBackpack= FindItemFromBackpack(tool.Name, player)
27    if toolInBackpack then
28        toolInBackpack:Destroy()
29        toolInBackpack = nil
30    end
31    -- Look through his character
32    local toolInChar = FindItemFromCharacter(tool.Name, player)
33    if toolInChar then
34        toolInChar:Destroy()
35        toolInChar = nil
36    end
37end
38 
39ReplicatedStorage.ShopFunctions:WaitForChild("Ninjago").OnServerInvoke = function(player)
40local myDebounce = true
41    if player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 500 and MyDebounce == true and player then
42        MyDebounce = false
43        player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value - 500
44 
45        DestroyTool(tool, player)
46    end
47end
