Are unreferenced group objects garbage collected?

[DGuy]

If a group which has children is removed from the stage and assuming there are no other references to the group or outside references to any of its children, will the group along with its children eventually be garbage collected?

Thanks

as long as there are no other references to the group or any of its children then it should be GC’d.
