The off-lining part of remove_memory() can be removed, but not the
hot-delete part. Please see my comments below.

We still need to call remove_memory().

The above procedure can be removed as it is for off-lining.

I think the above procedure is still useful for safe guard.

The above procedure performs memory hot-delete specific operations and
is necessary.
