How to reduce memory usage?

Question

Hi I have a windows app. When I started the application It was 45.000K in task manager. But after 2 hours its increased to 147.000K. How can I reduce this memory usage? Best Regards.

It is not easy to know. The use of memory by Windows is complicated. 147 KB is small. Windows often avoids doing unnecessary work. It is possible that much of the 147 KB is made free by the .Net garbage collector but Windows does not bother to reclaim the memory because it does not need to. This type of question is often asked by beginners. It is unlikely that you need to do anything. You are more likely to cause problems than you are to solve problems.
