How do I delete a sprite without delating his other clones ?

Hi, I'm new in the comunity ! I've been trying to create a little clone of suika suika game but I have a few problems.One of them is that when I drop my sprite, it will instantly create another sprite so it create a new fruit

The other problem is that if I try to destroy a sprite to replace the new fruit, it kills the game because the fruit that I drag and drop disapears to

What is the first problem? I didn't understand. For the second problem there are a few ways you can do it. It is about picking the correct instance of fruit. You could give the one you are dragging a variable value to differentiate it, so when you check overlap you can destroy the fruit where the value is not set and keep the one you were dragging.

Txh, the first problem is that when I drop it, twi black fruits ar in contact even with a timer so it will create a green fruit at the starting point
