Is it possible to delete an originated (e.g. KT1...) contract?

Question

Is it possible to delete originated contracts? E.g., does Tezos have an analog of Ethereum's selfdestruct?

I'm guessing "no" and that it's a deliberate design decision - this is mostly an academic question.

Thanks!

No, it is not possible. Currently, Michelson does not have any instruction for self-destructing a contract.
