Can not remove object from $scope in Angular JS

Question

I am doing following on a call back.

$scope.summary = data;

Once summary object is part of $scope i cant delete it programatically on another event like following.

delete $scope.summary

Above line returns true but the object is still there with all data. Btw if I do the following it deletes the object successfully.

delete $scope.summary.abc

It would be great if you can shed light on this and guide me through this.

The snippet you show should work but, why do you want to delete a variable instead of assigning null or undefined to it? I'm curious — jbmartinez

Are you deleting the property "Summary" in the right $scope?

There is possibility you want to delete "summary" property of the $parent $scope. Without some code it is hard to tell.
