How would I make it so a certain item is removed from an inventory?

I'm trying to make a job delivery system where the player picks up boxes and deliver them.. How do I make it so a certain item is removed from their inventory without removing all of the tools. This is what I have so far

local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if not debounce then
        debounce = true
        local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if plr then
            local holders = {plr:FindFirstChild("Backpack"), plr:FindFirstChild("StarterGear"), hit.Parent}
            game.Workspace.itemStocks.numberofSoap.Value = game.Workspace.itemStocks.numberofSoap.Value + 1
            for i,v in pairs(holders) do
                pcall(function()
                    for i,v in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
                        if v:IsA("BackpackItem") then
                            v:Destroy()
                        end
                    end
                end)
            end
        end
        wait(15)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

Thanks :)

The item's name is "Box" ExtremeNyanCat123 32 — 6y

I'd recommend changing the variables for line 12; might make it easier to understand, and prevent confusion. TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 6y

Ok, so what your doing is destroying everything in the inventory that is a tool, but im assuming you want to destroy a specific item so heres what i would do. Im not 100% sure why your going throught every item to destroy one item but if so heres what i would do instead: Instead of seeing if it is a tool, we should check if its name is the name of the tool you want to get rid of.

local debounce = false
02   local NameOfItemWeWantToDestroy = "Box" -- change this to the name whatever you want to destroy
03  script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
04      if not debounce then
05          debounce = true
06          local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
07          if plr then
08              local holders = {plr:FindFirstChild("Backpack"), plr:FindFirstChild("StarterGear"), hit.Parent}
09              game.Workspace.itemStocks.numberofSoap.Value = game.Workspace.itemStocks.numberofSoap.Value + 1
10              for i,v in pairs(holders) do
11                  pcall(function()
12                      for i,v in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
13                          if v.Name == then -- this will check if its name is the name of the item we want to destry
14                              v:Destroy()
15                          end
16                      end
17                  end)
18              end
19          end
20          wait(15)
21          debounce = false
22      end
23  end)

Edit(I understand why your looping through all of those now, so as to delete it from the character backpack and starterpack) Ok :)
