Memory leaking in windows service

Question

I had made a windows service following this article - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt703436.aspx. All works fine and I felt like I’m a real programmer). But I have a problem - this service consumes too much memory. In fact, for about 6 hours service consumed 3 Gb memory and I think it’s not very good. Maybe anyone faced with this problem and resolve it? Maybe someone could help me? I put my code here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/24169803/.

Thanks in advance.

It's going to be quite hard to help without being able to see the code. — gvee, Mar 13 '17 at 08:36
Over 1,000 lines of code?? http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve I guess as a generic answer: how often are you creating `New-Object`s and not clearing them up? — gvee, Mar 13 '17 at 11:21
I added the Remove-Item commandlet in every functions where are the New-Object. But it's not helped. — Fedor Malkin, Mar 13 '17 at 15:10
And also I found this code in finally block: `if ($sw) { $sw.Dispose() # Release resources $sw = $null # Force the PowerShell garbage collector to delete the .net object }` — Fedor Malkin, Mar 13 '17 at 15:13

I've read the article you used for creating a service. Can't tell for sure without seeing your code but you are probably missing garbage cleaners.

[System.GC]::Collect()

I tried to use garbage collecting, but there was no any effect. – Fedor Malkin Mar 13 '17 at 09:22
