QTimerEvent* in QObject::timerEvent - should I delete the instance?

Though I am not sure why you want to handle a timer event yourself...

I am using QTimer. Documentation for QTimer states that

An alternative to using QTimer is to call QObject::startTimer() for your object and reimplement the QObject::timerEvent() event handler in your class (which must inherit QObject).
