What's a Memory Leak?


  • A memory leak is like a virtual oil leak in your computer. 
  • It will slowly drains the available memory, reducing the amount of free memory the system can use. 
  • Most memory leaks are caused by a program that unintentionally uses up increasing amounts of memory while it is running. 
  • This is typically a gradual process that gets worse as the program remains open. If the leak is bad enough, it can cause the program to crash or even make the whole computer freeze.
