Destroying Texture2D doesn't free memory
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached project "765799.zip"
2. Open scene "repro"
3. Open "TestMemoryLeak.cs"
4. Notice that it creates new Texture2D every second. Then destroys it.
5. Run scene
6. Open task manager and notice how memory builds up
Note: This issue is only partially visible in the profiler: "Used Total" doesn't increase when memory builds up, only "Total System Memory Usage" builds up.
Reproduced with: 5.1.4f1, 5.2.4p1, 5.3.2p1, 5.4.0b4

It seems this can be still reproduced with 2019.1.8f1.
When inspected with Memory Profiler, tens of old allocations could be found from memory, and if continued would eventually kill player or editor on any platform.
And a call to Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets() still fixes this.

"For my case, calling that helped: Resources.UnloadUnusedAssets();"
Also worked for me thanks XLUNCHBOXXX. I was just converting screen grabs to JPGs using textures. They never were release it seemed until I called the above.

I should mention that I am on 5.3.4f1 - and the device I am testing on is presently iOS. The leaks I am seeing are around 70MB for 4 textures being created and explicitly destroyed.

I am running into this exact situation, but cannot reproduce the leak in Editor. When running on device, however, I can see the Mono heap grow on each iteration, even though the number of textures and amount of texture memory reported in the profiler remains consistent.

Same issue is faced while internet connection lost while downloading videos. Both in Android & iOS
