Hello, I am new to kotlin and I was wondering if there is a way to destroy kotlin object so init block is reinitialized. This is for testing purpose?

No, but you can create a new instance of it

That does not make sense in Kotlin or Java world, constructor is only called once, if you "destroy" the object, you'll need to create a new one, which kinda does what you want. so

var yourObject = YourObject(/* params */)
yourObject = YourObject(/* params */)

Note that, yourObject variable will point to a newly create object in this case, while initial one will be inaccessible unless there are other references to it and will be garbage collected at some point.
