Re: Problem freeing components with .free

User can open any quantity of image folders, and all components are
created dynamically. In the case, if user choose to save all image of
one specific folder, then I need to destroy them and reposition other
folders and images. In fact I can set only visibility, but because of
high volume of folders being treated at same time, I think some old
computers on my office would crash if i don't clear unnecessary
memory, not to talk about other modifications i'll need to make, where
the timer would be more helpful.

No system will crash due to a lack of RAM. Virtual memory is in use since Win 3.0.

I was just wondering if there is no trick or workaround to get rid of
this problem!

OH on TComponent.Owner property:
Indicates the component that is responsible for streaming and freeing this component.

IMO this should work for you, instead of X.Free:
X.Owner.RemoveComponent(X);
