Sean Eskapp:
so is there a way to invoke a GC cleanup in some way?

This attempts to minimize memory, it does not run a collection cycle (I
don't
think anyways). To invoke the GC collector, use:

But won't this blindly run a GC cycle? What if all I want is a given
thingy's mem to be released, isn't it overkill to call GC.collect?
Then you can free it via:

The OP's question was "how do I run the garbage collector".
