    Hi,

    I'm sorry for your frustration. Are you freeing up space on the memory or physically cleaning the RAM of your PC?

    If it is a laptop or desktop, if possible, could you provide the laptop model or your desktop configuration?

    Thanks

    To clear memory on a Windows 10 system, you can follow these steps:

    1. Close Unnecessary Applications: Close any applications that you are not currently using, as they consume memory.
    2. Restart Your Computer: Restarting can help clear temporary files and free up memory.
    3. Use Task Manager: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Here, you can see which applications are using the most memory. You can select and end tasks that are not needed.
    4. Disable Startup Programs: Limit the number of programs that start when your computer boots. You can do this in Task Manager under the Startup tab.
    5. Clear Temporary Files: Use the Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files. You can search for "Disk Cleanup" in the Start menu, select the drive you want to clean, and follow the prompts.
    6. Increase Virtual Memory: If you frequently run out of memory, consider increasing your virtual memory settings.

    If you're looking to speak to a human for support, you can follow the instructions provided in the Microsoft support resources:

    • Type "Get Help" in the search bar and open it.
    • Type "Chat with an agent" and follow the prompts to connect with a live agent.
    • Alternatively, you can select the "Call me back" option to have them contact you.

    For more assistance, you can visit the official Microsoft support website for contact information.
