Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Introduction: jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxProgressBar is used to represent a jQuery progressbar widget that visually indicates the progress of a lengthy operation.

The destroy() method is used to destroy the progress bar widget. It does not accept any parameter and does not return any value. 

Syntax:

$('Selector').jqxProgressBar('destroy');
