Memory leak in file DELETE in R2010b?

Hi everyone,
Can someone kindly try out the following Matlab codes? I am not sure if I have found out a memory leak in using DELETE to simply delete a file.
I bracketed the DELETE command with the MEMORY command so that I can see the memory usage before and after calling DELETE.
Look at the line "Maximum possible array: ....". This number is constant at the beginning but before we hit 100 iterations, this number will decrease.
This took me 3 hours to find out. Am I missing something?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%% Create file1.mat in current directory.
file1 = 'file1.mat';
save(file1);
for n = 1:100
%% Create file2.mat.
file2 = 'file2.mat';
copyfile(file1, file2);
%% Delete file2.mat.
if exist(file2, 'file') ~= 0
memory
delete(file2);
memory
fprintf('--------------------------------------------\n\n');
end
if exist(file2, 'file') ~= 0
error('Cannot delete file2.mat.');
end
end
