PowerBI take lots of memory when opening in a browser. And memory is not clearing !!!

HI All,
In our application, we are using  powerBI  tiles and PowerBI reports to display in  Browser(edge). But after we open PowerBI tiles/PowerBI report its  taking  lots of memory , even after closing the powerBI page , still the memory is not clearing. We are using angularjs . How to clear the memory. And we are using webView controller to display the PowerBI reports. We are clearing the Webview controller with blank URL and destroying the scope.  The problem is if you open a powerBI report after closing exiting powerBI report, memory usage get doubled. so we need to close the application and open it again.

 

We need to clear the memory after closing the powerBI relkrts? how to do clear the memory

Hi,

 

In our application, we are using  powerBI  tiles and PowerBI reports using Browser(edge). But after we open PowerBI tiles/PowerBI report its  takes lots of memory , even after closing the powerBI page , still the memory is not clearing. We are using angularjs too. How to clear the memory. And we are using webView controller to display the PowerBI reports. We are clearing the Webview controller with blank URL and destroying the scope.  The problem is we open a powerBI reports second time , memory usage get doubled. so we need to close the application and open it again.

When saying open Power BI report it takes lots of memory, do you mean the angularjs application that consuming the memory or the browser?

While we open PowerBI reports , browser is taking lots of memory. And the memory is not cleared even after we close the PowerBI reports. We are not closing the application. We are opening the PowerBI using WebView control in our application . After we close the PowerBI reports the memory consumption in the browser remains the same. Again if we open the same powerBI report , memory consumption became doubled. Unable to clear the memory, we are clearing the webview control with blank URL and destroying the scope. Still memory is not cleared in the Browser.

I got confused, as it is the brower that consumes and manages memory. Even though power bi reports may use quite memory volume, however when closing the report page, if the brower still doesn't release memory, it is the problem of brower other than the report page in my opinion.
