Explicit data freeing in custom C++ runtime

[tete]

I'm trying to use a custom C++ engine with glut.
How can I free/delete data?

for example,
https://www.kestrelmoon.com/creaturedoc ... times.html

CreatureModule::CreatureLoadDataPacket json_data;
CreatureModule::LoadCreatureJSONData(filename, json_data);

auto cur_creature = std::shared_ptr<CreatureModule::Creature>(new CreatureModule::Creature(json_data));

creature_manager = new CreatureModule::CreatureManager(cur_creature);
creature_manager->CreateAnimation(json_data, "default");
creature_manager->CreateAnimation(json_data, "second");

above case,
how can I free cur_creature, etc?

delete cur_creature;
??

I'm thinking about how to load and delete various JSON data.

Hello,

A shared_ptr will free itself once its reference count drops to 0.
