The [_MEMFREE](_MEMFREE) statement frees the designated memory block [_MEM](_MEM) value and must be used with all memory functions. 

## Syntax

> [_MEMFREE](_MEMFREE) memoryVariable

## Parameter(s)

* ALL designated [_MEM](_MEM) type memoryVariable values must be freed to conserve memory when they are no longer used or needed.

* All values created by memory functions must be freed using [_MEMFREE](_MEMFREE) with a valid [_MEM](_MEM) variable.
