"Destroy" Axes

Hi,
I think it's a stupid thing but I couldn't succeed in coping
it with.

I have code like this:

fh=figure(....);
ah1=axes('Parent',fh,....,'Position',[.1 .1 .4 .5]);
plot(ah1,x1,y1);

ah2=axes('Parent',fh,....,'Position',[.5 .1 .4 .5]);
plot(ah2,x2,y2);

Till here no problem,
After doing some operations i want to delete these two plots
and substitute them with an other one
(something like ah3=axes('Parent',fh,....,'Position',[.1 .1
.8 .5]);
plot(ah3,x3,y3);)

Of course I can write over the two plot, but I would like to
completely remove them (something like close(ah1), close(ah2));

Is there a way to make this???
Thank you very much in advance, best wishes -Luca-

You should use delete function :
delete(ah1)

"Luca Cerone":
<SNIP needs to choose the correct function...

...should be

delete(ah1);
% also, look at
% cla(ah);
