Texture still in memory even after release.

So, what i did was: set a Sprite as addressable and than load it into a

UnityEngine.UI.Image.sprite

when the display is shown with:

Code (CSharp):

1.  UnityEngine.AddressableAssets.Addressables.LoadAsset<Sprite>("Credits").Completed += (operation) =>
2.             {
3.                 creditsImage.sprite = operation.Result;
4.             };

When it's no longer needed i set the

Image.sprite

to

null

and release the addressable Sprite loaded:

Code (CSharp):

1. UnityEngine.AddressableAssets.Addressables.ReleaseAsset(creditsImage.sprite);
2.  
3. creditsImage.sprite = null;

But when i check the profiller the Sprite is still there consuming memory and it's referenced to the ResourcesManager.

 

I believe this is related to: https://forum.unity.com/threads/bug-memory-leak-after-release-assets.594532/
which should be fixed in the next release.
