Abstract: A memory management method and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: starting an application and providing virtual memory to the application; checking a space of the virtual memory occupied while the application is running; checking bitness of a process run by the application when the space of the virtual memory occupied is greater than a first threshold; and performing a process-killing operation on the application based on the bitness of the process run by the application. In the foregoing method, a specific application is checked and killed according to a preset policy by combining multi-dimensional information according to occupancy of virtual memory based on a memory exception occurring in a running application, so as to resolve a memory leak problem.
