How could i tell the garbage collector to ignore the reference

You could always zero the reference in the hashmap, as it won't
be valid after reload anyway...
Nothing will reload.
An example :
I load a texture "button.png" in a class and draw it to the
screen,
When the screen switches to another screen ie from menu to the
game,
I want that the "button.png" texture is automaticly destroyed by
the gc.
But this will never happen because i still have a reference to it
in my hashmap.
Thus, i need a way to tell the gc to ignore the reference ( or
something similar ) in that hashmap.
