If you're using integer handles eg:

RandomImage = LoadImage( <path> )

Then you need to use "Release RandomImage". If you're using explicit references, eg:

RandomImage:TImage = LoadImage( <path> )

When there are no more references to the loaded image, it will be freed automatically. Therefore,

RandomImage:TImage = LoadImage( <path> )
DrawImage RandomImage, 0, 0
RandomImage = Null

Will free the loaded image.
