Remove any references to an object which is using a particular piece of
memory. Then it will eventually get garbage collected.

If you need more advice than that, you're doing it wrong. I'm sure there are
a lot of "that guy" type people out there who might point out the various
Ruby GC methods, but if you have to use them, you're probably doing it
wrong, and also they're not really portable to Ruby implementations beyond
MRI and are mostly hacks for the crappy garbage collection available in
MRI/YARV.
