How to destroy an FCK editor?

I have an FCK editor with a detached toolbar. How do I destroy the editor and the toolbar?

I tried simply setting the innerHTML of the containing elements to '', but when I try to create a new editor with the previously "destroyed" id I get an error.

I don't think you'll get any takers on this one. I don't see a "Destroy" method in the source.

You don't post the error message you're receiving, so it's hard to say just what hasn't been cleaned out, but there are several things created during a standard Create() call, each tagged with your editor instance name. Take some time with Firebug and search out everything tagged with the instance name (plus suffixes) - best I can offer.

I'm looking for this too. I am generating the editor on the fly and it is submitting through Ajax so once the form is submitted I want to teardown/destroy the editor so it releases the memory it is consuming.

In IE, the memory consumption is very noticeable. I realize this is a known issue but having a teardown method would help considerably.
