    Unload Class from memory

    Hi all.
    When I load a scene I "require" some classes that are related to the scene. For example:
    function NewLevel:init()
-- ************************************ --
-- ************** REQUIRE ************* --
require"box2d"
require"classes/Camera"
require"classes/PhysicObjects"
...
end
    Is there a way, when I change scene also to "unrequire" those classes and clean up the memory?
    Or thats not how lua works and no matter what I do those classes will be always in memory?
    thanks

      this should work
      function unrequire(m)
    package.loaded[m] = nil
    _G[m] = nil
end
 
-- USAGE:
--[[
    require "modulename"
    unrequire( "modulename" )
--]]
