Object got inserted into a table, Object got destroyed, Table stays as original O_O?
Is there a way I can detect the object is destroyed?
Experiment script:
local mytable = {}
local part = workspace.Part
table.insert(mytable,part)
print(#mytable) --Prints 1 '_'
part:Destroy()
print(#mytable) --Prints 1? 0_0
print(mytable[1]) --Prints Part? O_O

Fluff my stupid brain! I just only have to check the parent is nil or not. magicguy78942 238 — 6y

You're maintaining a reference to the part, which will prevent it from being garbage collected, and mytable hasn't been garbage collected when you run your prints.
You could remove it from the table yourself, or use a weak table with the values being weak (__mode = "v"):
