Those do exist, but you have to declare them and you'll have to specify what they should do when they are created/destroyed:

Type test
	Method New() ' Constructor method
		Print "Hey, you've just created a new test-instance"
	End Method

	Method Delete() ' Destructor method
		Print "You've just destroyed a test-instance"
	End Method
End Type

a:test = New test ' Create a new instance of "test"

a = Null ' Set "a" to point to nothing (so it can be destroyed at the next FlushMem)
FlushMem ' Destroy all unreferenced objects
