Answer 1

You delete each pointer individually, and then you delete the entire array. Make sure you've defined a proper destructor for the classes being stored in the array, otherwise you cannot be sure that the objects are cleaned up properly. Be sure that all your destructors are virtual so that they behave properly when used with inheritance.
