I admit that I didn't check. (Actually I can't check, as currently for
me every "destroy" crashes Pd.)

"clear" alone may be fine in this case, but I suppose things get hairy
if you just delete a some objects using e.g. "find foo, cut", and then
create some new ones and try to connect them. Wouldn't the numbering
of objects necessary for [connect ...( be invalid now, too? At least
the bookkeeping would get even more difficult than it already is.
