    My code is this:

    function system.Unload()
    print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
    logoWav = nil;
    logoBmp = nil;
    logoTexture = nil;
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    collectgarbage("collect");
    print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
    end


    And the result is:

    8192
    8192
    8192

      Are you sure the variables you are nilling are available in the scope of the Unload function?
      Here is a quick test:
      print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
local bg = Texture.new("bg.jpg")
print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
bg = nil
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
collectgarbage("collect");
print(application:getTextureMemoryUsage());
      Which produces expected output:
      0
8192
8192
0

      By the way, I decided to move on to do something else, and noticed that it started working AFTER I load other stuff... weird.

      It must be GC issues.
