The delete operator is used in C++ to free dynamically allocated memory, i.e., memory allocated using new operator. It should be used only to deallocate memory that has been allocated using new, otherwise, it causes undefined behavior. The malloc, new, and alloc operators are used to allocate memory, not deallocate it. The delete operator is used to free up memory allocated by the new operator.
