Calling the Clear method does not remove control handles from memory. You must explicitly call the Dispose method to avoid memory leaks.

HI WinForms Controls.Clear() its just remove the object from the control collection array not from the momery. if you need call forcefully dispose the object from the memory. http://c-sharpexpertizer.blogspot.com/2008/09/finalize-vs-dispose-in-c.html thank you
