Bug Description

To reproduce:
1. Scan a few pages
2. Note the memory useage

You can repeat those steps and note that the more and more memory is being used, even after you delete those pages. The memory doesn't get freed.

Note: If you do "New Document" the memory does get freed up as expected, but on deletion it is "stuck".

In my experience in bionic, the memory isn't even freed when starting a new document with Ctrl+N. The memory usage simply keeps ballooning with every additional page scanned.
