Deinitialising Vulkan

Once the application is finished, you must free the memory and clean up the system.

All of the previously initialised Vulkan objects are destroyed in the reverse order to which they were created. Any memory that had been allocated for various buffers is also freed. This ensures everything is cleaned up correctly. View in context.
