After setting an object to null, you can call the garbage collector:

System.runFinalization();
System.gc();

Note however, that it depends on the GC if he likes to immedeately free up
previously consumed memory or not. In other words, there is no warranty that
the GC will do this straight when called. Also if there are otherwere in
your prog possible dangling references to the released object (object =
null), the GC will not free it up until those references have been released
too.
