Should I use [Scene | Babylon.js Documentation (babylonjs.com)](https://doc.babylonjs.com/typedoc/classes/babylon.scene#dispose) dispose to delete the mesh in the scene?

Hey @pigga, has the issue be solved yet?

If not, `mesh.dispose()` (where `mesh` is the mesh you created) will delete a mesh and `scene.dispose()`, which deletes the entire scene. There are a few other methods you can use but shouldn’t because there isn’t a reason to (at least in my opinion).

Thanks!
