PURGE

Syntax

PURGE [ASYNC]

Description

Release unused memory back to the operating system.

Options

  • ASYNC - Performs the operation in the background.

This command is generally not needed for normal operation because the system allocator typically releases unused memory over time. But in some cases this can speed up the process, such as with the FLUSH/SWEEP/PURGE combo which will clear all entries and free up all memory as soon as possible.

Example
