No, that is not possible. You have to know w$$anonymous$$ch GameObject is at that position. If you are making a grid-type game, you can make a jagged array w$$anonymous$$ch contains a GameObject at each specific index = position.

So if your grid is, say 5 by 4 you will have a jagged array like t$$anonymous$$s:

 GameObject[][] objectsInMap = new GameObject[5][]

Then, use a for-loop to initialize each index to 4:

 for (int i = 0; i < objectsInMap.Length; i++)
 {
     objectsInMap[i] = new GameObject[4];
 }

Then, when you need to destroy a GameObject at a specific position, use:

 if (objectsInMap[x][y] != null)
 {
     Destroy(objectsInMap[x][y]);
 }

This, of couse also applies to 3-dimensional arrays, eg. [][][], but at this point you might want to search for better options, since the array would become huge.

Would it be possible to create Specific GameObjects on a specific region of the grid? If so, how would I go about it?

You could create a collider at the desired position, set it to trigger and attach a script with an OnTriggerEnter event method that could handle the object destruction.
