does nothrow applicable to delete as well?

Hi I have used nothrow in below code: https://code.sololearn.com/c4A2a24A7a20 but it does not build with no throw used accordance to delete. does it only applicable to new only?

Delete operator never throws an exception. But still there is exists a nothrow version of delete operator which is only used by system when the `new`(nothrow version) operator fails to allocate required memory, then nothrow version of delete is called implicitly to clean the mess.

Does this mean we don't have to do anything specific like nothrow in case we allocated memory using nothrow ? Perfect than ...just allocate with noththrow and simply delete
