'how to properly delete the memory occupied by an object in python?
As you can see in the image, a list retains the value even after del keyword has been used. Yes I have read the official doc on del statement
Deletion of a name removes the binding of that name from the local or global namespace
But if del statement only removed of the name binding and does not actually free the memory space then what is the use of such a statement? and how do you truly free a memory occupied by an object?
most importantly if an object assigned to list does not disappear in list after we delete it then why does 2 list assiged as list1 = list2 will delete their elements simultaneously when we perform del list1[i] on one of them.
