Hi everyone!
I did something like this:
String str = new String[10];
...
delete[] str;
It works but sometimes it causes EAccesViolation when deleteting. Why it
happens?
thanks

You can then access it like this: str[0] = "hello";

your example.) Therefore we cannot help you, but at least now you
know where to search for the problem. Something is corrupting your
pointer.

With that said, since you are using the VCL anyway, you can alternatively
use a TStirngList instead:
TStringList *str = new TStringList;
...
delete str;
