To release cache memory, you can use the following methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To use the sync command: the sync command can write data from the cache to the hard drive and release the associated memory. Enter the following command in the terminal:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    sync\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

        \n
      1. You can use the free command to check the system’s memory usage, including cache and buffer. Just input the following command in the terminal:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        free -h\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Reboot system: If the above methods do not work, you can try restarting the system to free up cached memory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          Please be aware that releasing cached memory may impact system performance, as caches can improve read and write speeds. These operations should only be performed when memory needs to be freed up.<\/p>\n
