#     This is the code that I have written so far. When the mouse is clicked, objects will appear but I want the program structured, in which if the mouse is pressed again on an object, the object will delete.

Use a similar for loop in mousePressed and use dist() command to see if the mouse is in the circle

If yes, set a variable dead to true inside the class  
When it’s true don’t display the circle

Remove from array

Besides, it’s nice to have shorter titles for your posts, yours is a bit too long
