I initially used wipe() as per suggestions, thinking it would eliminate a memory leak and was monitoring performance by hovering the mouse over the ? (wow menu). I realised that if I had a table inside a table then wipe() would not help and memory appeared to be steadily increasing like it did before. If I was using just a single dimensional table then wipe() appeared to stop the memory leak.
Soon after that I discovered I could force GC by calling garbagecollect() so did not delve further into wipe().
Then I discovered that my issue was around CreateFrame() because I was not deleting the previous frames, and read that you cannot anyway, but you must reuse them.
