Does .delete() actually do anything?

[Pyritie]

I know that in regular irrlicht you need to use .delete() on all of your vectors and stuff to free up memory or something, but since java has a garbage collector, does calling delete() actually do anything?

I hope you don't call delete on all things in Irrlicht, as this would usually lead to memory corruption right away. But indeed, a garbage collector could make the reference counting useless.

Alrighty.
