I have a program that reads in a really large Excel file and creates some large variables. This runs out of storage if I try to run it multiple times in a row, which makes sense, i.e.:
large_program; large_program
will crash. However, what I don't understand is why
large_program; clear all; large_program
will also crash; in order to run it multiple times, I have to restart MATLAB each time. Does MATLAB not actually clear all variables? Or is this a fragmentation of memory thing?
