deleting receive object by the message it receives

Roman Thilenius's icon

i have two top level patchers, of which one created the other by opening it from disk.

now patcher 1 sends some stuff to patcher 2 (mostly thispatcher commands), and after everything is done i´d like to delete the [r ] which has been used for that, before patcher 2 is finally saved to disk.

it is clear that there can´t be a solution, but i felt like asking for one.

it is for one part about saving object boxes.

i would normally simply move the [r ] with the other objects in top level patcher 2 into [p ] or an abstraction, so that there is only one object left.

but the other two objects which need to remain in the top level patcher 2 are [active] and [thispatcher], which of course have to reside in the top level of top level patcher 2 for an obvious reason.

otoh the [r ] also has to be removed for safety reasons; an instance of top level patcher 2 could be still open when creating the next version.
