setTimeout continues when user route to different page, how to clearTimeout in angular typscript?

Question

I used setTimeout to jump to the upload page after 10 seconds. But the timeout continues when user navigate to another page. I followed the instructions on this link(Angular 2 setinterval() keep running on other component) and added clearTimeout to ngOnDestroy, but it does not work.

  ngOnInit() {
    
    // Get uploaded file info
    this.uploadService.getFileInfo().subscribe((value) => {
      this.fileInfo = value;
    

      this.http.post(environment.apiUrl+'/api/dataValidation/validateData.php', this.fileInfo)
        .subscribe(res => {
          console.log('response'+res)
          if (res['length']<5) {
            
            //console.log(res);
            this.failure = true;
            this.fileValidationResults.errorMessage =res[0];
            this.loading = false; // stop loading screen
            this._timer =setTimeout(() => {
              this.router.navigate(["/uploads/upload"]);
            }, 10000); 
          }
        })
    });

  }
  ngOnDestroy() {
    if (this._timer){
      clearTimeout(this._timer);
  };
  }

How can I stop setTimeout() when user navigate to another link and let setTimeout() only works in it's own component?

Should work, remember when declare your component implements OnDestroy

BTW, You can use timer operator of rxjs instead of setTimeout

import {timer} from 'rxjs'
import {takeWhile} from 'rxjs/operators'
...

export class OneComponent implements OnInit,OnDestroy {

   alive:boolean=true;

   ngOnInit(){    
     timer(1000).pipe(takeWhile(()=>this.alive)).subscribe(_=>{
        this.router.navigate(['/three'])
     })
   }

   ngOnDestroy()
   {
       this.alive=false;
   }
}
