How to destroy a server when all the players have left it?

Hi.

I have made a VIP server system for my game, everything works perfectly. The only problem is, is that once a player creates a server, it is there forever and I don't know how to destroy it, because I am teleporting the player to a different place.

The code:

-- Services
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TS = game:GetService("TeleportService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--DataStores
local ServerAccessCodesDS = DSS:GetDataStore("ServerAccessCodesDS.")
local ServerNamesDS = DSS:GetDataStore("ServerNamesDS.")
local LocalOwnedServersDS = DSS:GetDataStore("LocalOwnedServersDS.")
local CustomServerJoinCodesDS = DSS:GetDataStore("CustomServerJoinCodesDS.")
local GlobalPrivateServerDS = DSS:GetOrderedDataStore("GlobalPrivateServerDS.")
local PrivateServerOwnerIdDS = DSS:GetDataStore("PrivateServerOwnerIdDS.")
local ServerInfoDS = DSS:GetDataStore("ServerInfoDS.")

local value = Instance.new("IntValue")
value.Parent = script.Parent
value.Name = "MaxServers"

--Paths
local menu = script.Parent.Parent
local createServerButton = menu.Frame.CreateServer.CreateButton

local yourServersButton = menu.Frame.YourServers_Button
local joinServerButton = menu.Frame.JoinByCode.JoinButton

local teleportGui = RS:WaitForChild("TeleportingGui")

-- Vars
local plr = menu.Parent.Parent


local psid = game.PrivateServerId
local servers = {}
local JoinServerCodeEntered;

pcall(function()
    for i,v in pairs(LocalOwnedServersDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or nil) do
        table.insert(servers, v)
        warn(plr.Name.." PS codes are: "..v)
    end
end)

function GenerateServerInviteCode()
    while true do
        local code = math.random(111111,999999)
        if not ServerNamesDS:GetAsync(code) then
            return code
        end
    end
end

function SortGlobalPrivateSeversAsync()
    local pages = GlobalPrivateServerDS:GetSortedAsync(false, 100)

    for i,v in pairs(menu.Frame.ServerList:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("Frame") then
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end

    local data = pages:GetCurrentPage()

    for i,v in pairs(data) do
        warn(v.value, v.key)
        task.wait(.2)
        local ServerInfoDictionary = ServerInfoDS:GetAsync(v.key)
        local ServerFrameClone = script.ServersTemplate:Clone()
        ServerFrameClone.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Frame.ServerList
        ServerFrameClone.PlayerCount.Text = v.value.."/20"
        ServerFrameClone.ServerName.Text = ServerInfoDictionary.ServerName
        ServerFrameClone.JoinServerButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
            local code = ServerAccessCodesDS:GetAsync(v.key)

            TS:SetTeleportGui(teleportGui)

            TS:TeleportToPrivateServer(9619375620, code, {plr})
        end)
    end

end

if string.len(psid) >= 30 then
RS:WaitForChild("PrivateServerOwnerValue").Value = PrivateServerOwnerIdDS:GetAsync(psid)
else

end

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, txt)
    JoinServerCodeEntered = txt
end)

joinServerButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if JoinServerCodeEntered ~= nil then
        local id = ServerNamesDS:GetAsync(JoinServerCodeEntered)
        local code = ServerAccessCodesDS:GetAsync(id)

        TS:SetTeleportGui(teleportGui)

end)

    end

    }

    ServerInfoDS:SetAsync(id, ServerInfoDictionary)
    table.insert(servers, NewJoinCode)
    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
        LocalOwnedServersDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId, servers)
    end)

    UpdateYourServersList()
    SortGlobalPrivateSeversAsync()
end)

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
    if string.len(psid) >= 30 then
        GlobalPrivateServerDS:SetAsync(psid, #Players:GetPlayers())
    end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
    if string.len(psid) >= 30 then
        GlobalPrivateServerDS:SetAsync(psid, #Players:GetPlayers())
    end
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
    if string.len(psid) >= 30 then
        GlobalPrivateServerDS:SetAsync(psid, 0)
    end
end)

UpdateYourServersList()

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    UpdateYourServersList()
end)

while true do
    SortGlobalPrivateSeversAsync()
    task.wait(60)
end

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

i think bindToClose and MessagingService would help you here basically when bindToClose fires send data to the main menu server that this server has closed im not sure how you do this as im not familiar with MessagingService but heres the Api link https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/MessagingService

game:BindToClose(function()
    print("Game is shutting down.")
end)

Ok I have written a new script, but I have one problem. I don't know how to teleport the player when they click the 'join button' ROBLOXIS14NOW 5 — 1y

Here is the new script which uses MessagingService and BindToClose:

local playerUserId = "#ServersData[pcall1]Data"

local data = playerData:GetAsync(playerUserId)  --Checks if player has stored data

if data then
    servers = data
