{{PageSyntax}}
::: '''_MEMFREE ''memory_variable'''''


{{Parameters}}
* ALL designated [[_MEM]] type ''memory variable'' values must be freed to conserve memory when they are no longer used or needed.


''Usage:''
* Since all [[_MEM]] type variables cannot use a suffix, use [[DIM]] ''variable'' [[AS]] [[_MEM]] to create memory handle variables.
* All values created by memory functions MUST be freed using [[_MEMFREE]] with a valid [[_MEM]] variable.
