SO : OracleLinux 8.7 - 2 nodes

Oracle Enterprise edition 19c (19.18.0.0) RAC environment 2 nodes ASM storage

I deleted a CDB with 320GB of SGA memory with dbca utility. At the end of the operation, without errors, the server memory is not freed. Once both nodes have been rebooted, the memory remains occupied.

[root@~]# free -lm
