Hi. I just opened <http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/wms.html> in Chromium, and entered map.layers[0].destroy() in the JavaScript console of the developer tools. And it worked as expected, the layer is destroyed will all the tiles removed from the map. It'd be great if you could come up with a simple example demonstrating the problem.
