[REBOL] Re: Deleting / Unsetting Hierachical Objects / Faces

Thanks for the tips Petr :)
I got most of the memory recovered now - it seems that when you reset /
unset an object none of its member attributes / objects are sent to garbage
collection - especially in the case of large series of images like i am
using in my image-bank. These all had to be deleted manually before
resetting parent objects.
eg:
while [(length? space-station/image-bank/images) > 0][remove
space-station/image-bank/images space-station/image-bank/images/1]
space-station: copy []
recycle
It would be nice if deleting the container removed all the contents rather
than having to fish through the contents and kill each one...
