Hi.

Can anyone tell me how to free memory in Mathematica.

I have some list operations in cycle (really long cycle).
Smth. like

-----------------------
ar={};
For[i=0,++i<10000000000,
ar=Append[ar,{bla bla bla}];
]
-----------------------
How can i free memory allocated for ar  when cycle is completed --- i
have terrible memory leakage (several megs in minute), cause when I use Clear or Remove ar does
not point to any address, but the result of previous calculations is
still in memory. I could not find any operation like free() in C.


Tnx.
