Welcome to theScripts. Please have a look at our Posting Guidelines. They ask that you create a good title for your thread - one that describes the question you are asking. I've taken the liberty of changing the thread title, however, the question you ask is a pretty standard concept of memory allocation. For these types of questions, it will probably be easier and faster for you to look in your book, or attempt to look it up on Google or Wikipedia.

For example, I think this might help. There also might be something lost in the vagueness of the question - I believe you are referring to the act of "freeing memory a pointer is pointing to". Am I correct?
