Tired of slow performance due to high memory usage? In this video, we’ll show you how to free up Linux memory instantly without rebooting. Learn to clear RAM cache and reset swap memory using simple terminal commands—perfect for improving system performance without downtime!
Learn:
✅ Step-by-Step Guide:
Clear RAM Cache:
Choose a lighter or deeper cleanup:
sudo sync && echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Tip: Use echo 1 for a lighter cleanup (cleans PageCache) or echo 3 for a deeper refresh (cleans PageCache + Dentries + Inodes).
Reset Swap Memory:
Disable swap, move data back to RAM, then re-enable swap:
sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a
What it does: Disables swap, moves data back to RAM, and re-enables swap for better performance.
Check Memory Usage:
Use free -h to view available memory (not just free):
free -h
Tip: Look at available memory to assess system performance.
✅ Why Free Up Memory?
Boost Performance: Free up RAM and swap for faster system response.
No Downtime: Instantly improve performance without rebooting.
Safe: Doesn’t close running applications.
✅ Pro Tips:
Use After Heavy Programs: Best used after large programs finish to reclaim memory.
Monitor Usage: Regularly check memory usage with free -h to stay ahead of performance issues.
Combine Commands: For a full cleanup, combine commands in one line:
sudo sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a
