Dear users of ROOT

I would like to know why in TH1::Build() delete hold is commented. If one have a function which crates histogram with new then there is no (easy) way to avoid memory leakage.

Best regards,
Margar Simonyan

if (hold) {
 Warning("Build","Replacing existing histogram: %s (Potential memory leak).",GetName());
gDirectory->GetList()->Remove(hold);
hold->SetDirectory(0);
// delete hold;
