A web service is being developed that loads the necessary resources as needed (these are .js and .css files). When, for example, a script with data is loaded, a <head>tag is added to the section <script src="…">, in which the file is something like this:

Esso.station={…}

The Esso object is, of course, pre-created. Everything was loaded, we worked with the data.
When I no longer need the data, I remove <script>the object itself from the DOM ES.station:

delete Esso.station

However, in the Resources tab, everything remains and accumulates, accumulates ... (see lines with krakozyabry)

Is it possible to delete these resources, otherwise it seems to me that they take all the memory like that ...

Thank you in advance for the answers.

You can't remove them from there. This tab keeps track of all the resources the page has ever loaded. In fact, the garbage collector should work and free memory from unnecessary data. Even if this does not happen (suddenly the browser gets bad), then uploaded files smaller than a megabyte are unlikely to be able to take up all the memory along with the swap in a short time.
