Delete 2D array C++

delete [] *M; is the same as delete [] M[0], so it is not equivalent to deleting all M[i] in a loop because only the first one would be deleted. The loop is the correct way to avoid memory leaks.

Or better, use std::vector instead of manual allocations and you won’t need to worry about deleting pointers.
