Freeing memory from vector of structs

[onako]

After I performed some operations on the vector of structs, I need to free the memory. I suppose clear() will not be sufficient, but I'm not sure how to perform individual delete.

typedef std::vector<VertexRAM> VecVertexRAM; // definition of a vector of structs

template <typename type>
void freeFromMemory(std::vector<type>& myVec) {
    typename std::vector<type>::iterator myIter=myVec.begin();
    while(myIter!=myVec.end()) {
	delete(*myIter);
	++myIter;
    }
    myVec.clear();
}

This outputs the following error:

error: type ‘struct VertexRAM’ argument given to ‘delete’, expected pointer

Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks
