No Destroy means kill a running domain, it's probably not running, hence
the error. Delete means undefining a domain see
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainUndefine
domain.undefine()
"""undefine a domain but does not stop it if it is running """
I think it's available in RHEL 5 update 2.
