You can use GC.Collect() to run the garbage collector.
However, you cannot control when the reportviewer object will actually be cleared from memory - this can only be controlled by the garbage collector itself.

You really can't. The GC only work on MANAGED objects, not unmanaged (or COM-based) objects. You run the GC all you want (NOT RECOMMENDED!) and the component is still going to take however much memory it wants.
