Please stop using all capital letters (aka shouting) in your posts.

It is against forum rules and results in people being less likely to help you.

Thanks

No problem :slight_smile:

To answer your question:

The best way to prevent memory leaks is to ensure you are cleaning up after yourself properly.

Which means to remove any display objects you are no longer using (via display.remove( object ) or object:removeSelf() ), nil out objects after removing them: object = nil

etc.

Basically, if you don’t “nil” your objects after removing them the garbage collector can’t remove them as it presumes they are still in use.
