The memory may not be released until you close the application.
This is an admission you have a memory leak, you should fix it and/or expose dispose methods on your libraries.
Thanks for your inquiry. Aspose.Words has some internal static objects which remain live after GC.Collect() because these static fields are GC roots. If you replace a call to Aspose.Words with a call to a class that has static members, you will see the same issue.
We’re observing leaks in a windows service processing thousands of documents per day using Aspose Words v16.4. The amount of memory being leaked couldn’t possibly be due to memory occupied by references to static variables.
