Reply to comment by nmxt in eli5 How is computer memory deleted? by unlikemike123
You are confusing "file storage" with "memory".
ie; harddrive, floppy disk, solid state drive storage versus RAM (Random Access Memory).
Most operating systems use a part of file storage for swapping out memory, yes, but that's not really what they OP is asking.
