To force the garbage collection from within your tests, try using the CollectGarbage() JScript function.
Also, TestComplete may cause this issue. I cannot say why it is happening as the situation needs closer investigations. I'd suggest that you contact our Support Team and send them a test project demonstrating the issue and detailed steps to reproduce it. Guys will check the TestComplete behavior and fix errors, if any.
