Reply to comment by sauprankul in eli5 How is computer memory deleted? by unlikemike123

The sub is eli5. In common vernacular memory refers to RAM or ROM. The first thing you should explain to a 5 year old is the right words, to make sure you understand what they are asking.

Yes, it is possible to have memory mapped files or a part of storage that is used like non-volatile memory, but it isn't what is commonly referred to as memory.

Ok. So then the answer isn't incorrect. OP used a word incorrectly and the answer used that word the same way OP did.
