A method and system for reclaiming memory space occupied by replicated memory of a multiple computer system utilizing a replicated shared memory (RSM) system or a hybrid or partial RSM system is disclosed. The memory is reclaimed on those computers not using the memory even though one (or more) other computers may still be referring to their local replica of that memory. Instead of utilizing a general background memory clean-up routine, a specific memory deletion action ( 177 A) is provided. Thus memory deletion, or clean up, instead of being carried out at a deferred time, but still in the background as in the prior art, is not deferred and is carried out in the foreground under specific program control.
