Hey guys,

I have a problem with Proxmox VE 7.1-11, when the RAM is used, once the VM / container is closed the RAM does not empty.

The only way to empty the RAM:

sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3

Thank for help,
Have a nice day.
 
so then it's probably used by the page cache, which does no harm really. that will be freed when something else needs the memory
(unused ram is wasted ram, so the kernel uses the ram as cache)
