How to force the garbage collection

Season
Season over 5 years ago

I have a script to handle many polys in memory in allegro. 

But after the completion of the script, 

I run the axlPolyMemUse(), it reports (31922 0 0 55076 252482)

Seems too many polys are still in the memory,and they are not being used. 

So how to delete these polys from the memory? And reclaim the memory?

BTW. I have no skill dev license. So gc() function doesn't work. 

Thanks.
