New Feature / Enhancement Checklist

• I have searched through existing issues.

Current Limitation

When I want to delete a Parse.Object, I often try to call delete instead of destroy. Also, the cloud trigger is afterDelete and not afterDestroy, which is very confusing (for me).

Feature / Enhancement Description

Just an alias that delete does the same as destroy.

Example Use Case

See above

Alternatives / Workarounds

Maybe overwrite the Parse constructor in the index file.

I think it your suggested terminology makes sense. We could add delete as an alias and eventually deprecate destroy in the future. Not sure how widespread that change would be in terms of other Parse SDKs and / or related methods that contain the word destroy if there are any.

[vince1995]

Using delete would be consistent with other SDKs. The names of the delete functions are also delete in Objective C, Java and Swift.
