I am brand new to web development just moved over from the database side and I am having a bear of a time trying to remove clusters in google maps. I've probably spent roughly 12 hours trying to research what is going on. Attached is my code all help is welcome. Can someone please take my attached code and actually write out the function to delete all markers?
