Why wont this brick remover work the way I want it to?
So I created a part remover like this..
function removebricks()
workspace.Part:Remove()
end
game.Workspace.PartDeleter.Touched:connect(removebricks)
and it works, but when I touch PartDeleter, it just removes any thing named part in the game. How would I make it so that if the part named PartDeleter was touched by a ton of parts, it would remove all of them?

--First thing's first: functions can have arguments. Think of
--mathematical functions.
function f(x)
print(2 * x + 5)
end
f(1)
f(2)
f(3)
--So, you call the function with an argument; an x-value in this case.
--Strings can also be arguments.
function echo(message)
print(message)
end
echo("hey")
echo("hi")
echo("what's up")
--Now, event listeners (functions you declare that you connect to
--events) can also have arguments. If you visit this link:
--You see that it has the name of the event, Touched, and what it would
--pass as an argument to it's connected function. Different events
--pass different arguments. In particular, the Touched event passes the part that
--touched as an argument to the connected function. Knowing that, let's make a function to
--destroy whatever touches your part.
function removebricks(PartThatTouched)
--remove() is a deprecated function, meaning Roblox made a better version of it. Just use Destroy().
PartThatTouched:Destroy()
end
game.Workspace.PartDeleter.Touched:connect(removebricks)
