The URL.revokeObjectURL()
static
method releases an existing object URL which was previously created by calling
URL.createObjectURL()
.
Call this method when you've finished using an object URL to let the browser know not to keep the reference to the file any longer.
Note: This method is not available in Service Workers, due to
issues with the Blob
interface's life cycle and the potential for leaks.
