What is garbage collection? How to force garbage collector to run?

Garbage collection helps in releasing memory occupied by objects. CLR automatically releases these unused objects if they are not used or referenced. This helps in allocating memory for newly created objects. One drawback of garbage collector is that it does not guarantee that a program will not run out of memory. It is possible for the resources to be used faster than they are garbage collected. Garbage collection cannot be predicted if it will happen or not.

GC.Collect() can be used to force garbage collection. In most scenarios, the garbage collection must be left to run at its own accord.
