DataTable

I am getting this error when trying to reinitialise datatable: "Warning: Cannot reinitialise DataTable"

What I have tried:

I have this code:

var datatable = $("#datatable").DataTable();//get dt

    datatable.destroy(); //destroy old instance

    datatable = $("#datatable").DataTable({
            "scrollY": "150px",
            "paging": false
        }); // here is throwing the error: "Warning: Cannot reinitialise DataTable"
