How to release Image from Image Source in WPF

Question

Am loading image like below

XAML

Answer 1

You should not use that Image directly in your application if you want to delete or move it.

imgThumbnail.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(filePath));

Instead, do this:

BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
image.BeginInit();
image.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
image.UriSource = new Uri(filePath);
image.EndInit();
imgThumbnail.Source = image;
