URL.revokeObjectURL()
The URL.revokeObjectURL() static
method releases an existing object URL which was previously created by calling
URL.createObjectURL(). Call this method when you've finished
using an object URL to let the browser know not to keep the reference to the file any
longer.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
Note: This method is not available from service workers, due to
issues with the Blob interface's life cycle and the potential for
leaks.
