When values are no longer being used, they get garbage collected thus freeing up any memory they used. What are memory leaks? Memory leaks may sound like something scary.

PSA: Connections can memory leak Instances!

Preface I’ve seen several experienced developers not knowing this, or not having a full understanding of what’s going on, so I thought I’d write a dedicated post on the issue of accidentally leaking Instances (so that they are not GCed even when there are no references to them) through lingering event connections. What circumstances cause a leak do -- All good, this part will be GCed just fine local p = Instance.new('Part') p.Touched:connect(function() print("Touched") end) end do --…
