You can use this for destroying the prefab:

Click me!

And this for "hideing" the gameObject instead of destroying it:

GameObject.active = false; // For disableing

GameObject.active = true; // For enableing.

This will disable everything on the gameObject. Colliders, renderer, light you name it.

-Thanks to Bunny83.

Any questions please ask :)

Simple. It works but the collider will still be present when using renderer.enabled you are just unchecking the mesh renderer. 1+

How about setting GameObject.active to false? Prefabs can contain any GameObject. It doesn't need to have a renderer. It can have also a light, particleemitter, script, or any other component. If you disable the GameObject everything on this GameObject will be disabled.
