Freeing Memory with Python

I'm using OpenCV 3.1, Python 3.5, and Windows 7. When I load large pictures I get an insufficient memory error. I believe I would be able to avoid this if I were able to free the pictures I loaded in OpenCV before I moved onto my next step, but I don't know if there's a way to do this using Python. Is there?

Have you tried dereferencing the images?

image = None

Or use the del keyword

del image

This might not free memory being held by opencv, but it's a good first try.
