clearing memory during function runing

Hi, im runing a function that uses a lot of memory and sometimes the function stops because there is not enough memory. is it possible to clear variables during running in order to free some memory?

thank you

You can clear variables in the current function's workspace, or in the base workspace, or global variables.

i am doing it (clearvars C F TDF t X allTG Names tmp tf) but ufortunatly it does not help me, still heaving the same memory problem. any thing else i can do, except putting more memory to my computer?

[Walter Roberson]

Probably not. However, in some cases it works to store calculations to a file, PACK, and then restore the file and continue.

[Laurent]

But PACK cannot be used from within a function, so it will not solve memory problems during running of the function.

[Walter Roberson]

Correct. But sometimes it makes sense to "checkpoint" your current state, return back up some levels, clean up memory, and then restart from the checkpoint.

You can use the clear command.
