my projectile is supposed to destroy itself after it deals damage

Question

I have a projectile that hit a game object with the tag "enemy" and hit the box collider and deal damage which works butter it deals damage the projectile is supposed to destroy itself which is not so I'm quite sure where my mistake is. Also when my projectile hits the collider it spawns a partly system but it spawns a duplicate every time it hits the collider so I feel like this problem will be solved by solving the 1st problem.

this is my projectile script

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Projectile : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private Transform target;
 
     public float speed = 70f;
 
     public GameObject impactEffect;
 
     public int damage = 10;
 
     public float explosionRadius = 0f;
 
     public void Seek(Transform _target)
     {
         target = _target;
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
         if (target == null)
         {
             Destroy(gameObject);
             return;
         }
         Vector3 dir = target.position - transform.position;
 
         float distanceThisFrame = speed * Time.deltaTime;
 
         if (dir.magnitude <= distanceThisFrame)
         {
             HitTarget();
             return;
         }
 
         transform.Translate(dir.normalized * distanceThisFrame, Space.World);
 
         transform.LookAt(target);
     }
 
     void HitTarget()
     {
 
         GameObject effectIns = (GameObject)Instantiate(impactEffect, transform.position, transform.rotation);
 
         Destroy(effectIns, 1f);
 
         if (explosionRadius > 0f)
         {
             Explode();
         }
 
         else
         {
             Damage(target);
 
             Destroy(effectIns);
         }
     }
 
     void Explode()
     {
         Collider[] colliders = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, explosionRadius);
 
         foreach (Collider collider in colliders)
         {
             if (collider.tag == "Enemy")
             {
                 Damage(collider.transform);
                 Debug.Log("I Got Hit");
             }
         }
     }
 
     void Damage(Transform enemy)
     {
         Enemy e = enemy.GetComponent<Enemy>();
 
         if (e != null)
         {
             e.TakeDamage(damage);
         }
 
 
     }
 
 
     void OnDrawGizmosSelected()
     {
         Gizmos.color = Color.red;
 
         Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(transform.position, explosionRadius);
     }
 
 }

Just call Destroy(gameObject); in the Damage method to destroy the projectile.
