Setting LetContainerManageMemory is passing control over to ITK to manage the lifetime of that memory. You do not need to (and should not) call delete of the buffer you passed in. 

ExtractImageFilter will create a new image and a new buffer to hold the pixels of the extracted data. The lifetime of the original image will be managed by the SmartPointer.
