Explanation of TFolder::Clear says:

Delete all objects from a folder list.

Does it mean that it:

  1. simply removes the object from the list or
  2. deletes it leaving a dangling pointer
  3. deletes the object and removes the pointer?

It will never do 2.

It might do 1. or 3. depending on whether you explicitly made the TFolder owner of its content (by calling TFolder::SetOwner). See the the TFolder description/documentation for more details.
