How memory is allocated to static methods

Question

I am working on a C# windows application. For this I have created many classes, in those classes most of the methods are static. I want to know when memory will be allocated for these static methods and when that will be cleared by GC. Is it good practice to create methods as static compared to method invoked on an instance based. When I launch my application, its consuming lot of memory, I assume that it’s because all the methods are static.

What makes you think static Methods are ever garbage collected ?

static methods not consume more memory than instance ones (you have to look elsewere...)
You should use static methods for 'class functionalities' that is for functionalities that don't depend on a particular instance of the class.
