If it really is an array, e.g.
struct Foo {
int array[5];
};
then you can't be using new on it. Likely you have not an array,
but a pointer to an array. Or maybe you have an array of pointers. Or
a pointer to an array of pointers.
Post (reduced) actual code, so we don't have to guess.

If you new anything in the constructor, then you *must* take care
of that memory in the destructor.
In addition, you must ensure that either the instance can't be
copied, or that it is copied correctly. See "Effective C++", Item 11.
