when a process has been closed windows will free all the memory it has allocated(Unless your dll does something really horrible like loading a kernelmode driver which allocates a gigabyte or more of nonpaged memory)

So that means form1.free is very seldom required in ANY application? Just placing cafree in the onclose would do?

Just exiting the thread when application.run returns is enough

Also, freeing an already freed form is a really bad idea.
I also don't recommend putting caFree as close action on the main form(or any form that's part of the main application), firstly, it's not needed, and most importantly is that it doesn‘t nil the variables that point to the form. If it‘s not nil then when application.run terminates calls functions on it (e.g. form.hide) and since it's freed that will cause unpredicted behaviour
