Large geodatabase's feature layer causes application to hang upon clearing it from memory (UWP)

[JaredWheatley]

Hi All,

I have a large geodatabase (700mb) that when the featurelayer is loaded into the map within my UWP application, whenever I try to clear it from memory (clear the UserControl in which it is housed) the application hangs.

I've tried nullifying the layers, nulling the map and the MapView, and removing the layers from the map collection.

any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!
