Ahhhh, thanks Shane. There’s obviously no need to worry then. Now back to reading Explored, cause I seem to have forgotten it ALL, dammit!

I’m presuming it’s added to the Cached memory, and that Cached memory is not cleared.

The whole point of cached memory is that it isn't flushed until something else needs the memory. Caching is great; the alternative is having memory chips potentially sitting there unused while your app drags stuff off disks again and again. And if it's not being cleared by restarting your app, it's probably system-level caching, which is even more useful because it can benefit more than just your app.

Before you try fiddling with memory-related stuff, you need to spend some time learning how it works.

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this......
Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged with numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
find
itself
innumerably
