hello everyone, is it possible to delete a javascript object from memory without waiting/forcing the garbage collector to execute ?

hello , is it possible to delete an object from memory without waiting/forcing garbage collector to execute ? i'm trying to impliment an addon to accomplish that but i wasn't able to access the actual object this is my source code  

void removeObject(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) {
   Isolate* isolate = args.GetIsolate();
   v8::Local<Value> aa = {args[0]};
   aa.Clear();

   cout<<aa.IsEmpty()<<endl;
   args.GetReturnValue();
}

I don't get it what you want to achive, but if you want to remove enormous amounts of memory data on a whimp, simply wrap them as native around a Wrapper, provide a getter/setter function and return undefined, if it has been freed.

The node native interface has examples of wrapper objects.

You cannot free the wrapper itself without garbage collection but the stuff it wraps around.
