ViewController not released from Memory

Question

I have this view hierarchy

RouterDashboardViewController : RootViewController
RootViewController : UIViewController

Currently, RouterDashboardViewController instance is in the navigation stack. When I reset rootViewController of NavigationController then RouerDashboardInstance still exist in memory because I can check my deinit{} method not gets called.Below are the stack traces in Instruments but am not able to detect any reason why my RouterDashboard instance not get deallocated. I am sure there will be retain cycles which keeps RouterDashboard instance still alive. One more thing am not understanding these stack traces because ViewDidLoad() method called several times.

@CaptainAlina There are lot of code in viewDidLoad method,you may not understand. — Sumit Jangra, May 29 '18 at 11:38
If You don't show Your code people won't be able to help. It's up to You. — Captain Alina, May 29 '18 at 11:39
Don’t forget you can view the memory graph to see which objects are retaining it. That might give you a clue. — ABeard89, May 29 '18 at 11:50

Something has a strong reference to RouterDashboardViewController. A few things to check…

Are you assigning it to a variable?
- You may need to declare it as weak var …
Is it a delegate of another class?
- Make sure delegate properties are also weak vars
Does it use any closures that refer it self?
- Add a capture list to your closure's parameter list ([unowned self] or [weak self] )
