# Image memory management

This function should be used conditionally, as it takes up a lot of resources.

If you have loaded multiple images, and want to free up memory, you can use this function to "forget" buffered images.

We do not have to provide any arguments to this function.

```lua
--Help! I need more memory!!!
forget_all_images()
```
