Answer 1

The garbage collector will release memory when needed if there is no references to the object.  You can speed up the process by calling GC.Collect()

Answer 4

Hi shivani,

I will suggest you to read this blog article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj721593.aspx section: <Analyzing Memory Leaks in Windows Store Apps Using C# and Visual Basic>.

And could you provide some code for further analysis? Hardly to say how to solve the problem without code analysis. And I also want to know why you need do so.

BTW, you can use PerfView suggested in the blog to monitor the memory status.
