Dorian destroys the portrait as a resource of redemption of all the sins that he had committed. By destroying his own portrait he finally could destroy his soul which was corrupted at first by Lord Henry and then by the horrible acts that he made by his own choice.
Basil attempted to destroy the painting because he was horrified by the influence it had on Dorian Gray and the corrupting effect it seemed to have on his soul. The portrait served as a mirror to Dorian's moral degradation, and Basil believed that by destroying it, he could save Dorian from his hedonistic lifestyle and reclaim his friend’s humanity. Additionally, Basil felt a deep sense of responsibility for the painting, as it represented not only his artistic talent but also the darker aspects of Dorian's character.

He realizes that the portrait has captured Dorian's corrupting influence and reflects the darker aspects of his soul.
