Spirit persons, righteous and evil, are very powerful. (Rev 12:7-9 ; 1 John 5:19)
A human does not have the ability to destroy an invisible spirit person.
God, who's a Spirit (John 4:24) will destroy evil spirit persons. (Rev 20:10)

Sure.

It's perhaps telling that we don't see described anywhere in the Bible the destruction of a demon or angel.
For example: in Revelation Satan is imprisoned for 1000 years, then after escaping and working further evil is consigned to Hell where he will suffer eternal torment...i.e. not destroyed.
For example: in "The Book of Tobit" (found in the Bibles of most of the World's Christians but not found in 66-book Bibles), a demon is bound and exiled by an angel...but not destroyed.
So: we simply have no **clear and explicit** teaching in the Bible of a demon or an angel being destroyed by any agency.
Note that some interpret Ezekiel 28 as referring to Satan, but
A - that directly contradicts what the author himself clearly teaches regarding the identity of the being described
B - the name "Satan" is never used - not only in that chapter, but in the entire book of Ezekiel!
Some also claim that Genesis 3:15 prophecies that Satan will be destroyed...but inevitably such interpretations are founded upon *extremely* weak bases and very loose interpretation that is easily disputed on grounds of reason.

Yes, they can ... Humans can erase, delete, or shred them.
And, yes again: They can destroy each other depending on the intent of the narrative in which they occur.

I am just adding this here to clarify my question. I do not mean fictional characters from books, video games, or movies, but real life demons and angels assuming you even believe they exist. If you do not believe they exist, then you cannot answer this question because they would be fictional to you. I also do not want to exclude any religion. I want answers from Christians, Jews, Muslims, or any religion. I do not want to exclude those atheist who believe that angels exist, but are aliens, but such a belief would mean they are mortal. For the sake of argument, let us assume they are immortals that may be able to be destroyed. The question is can they be destroyed, and how? The other part of this question is who can destroy them other than God. Can humans destroy them? Can Angels destroy Angels? That is what I want to know.
