Description
Repeating Navigate will increase the memory. Is there a way around this?
I tried the following but it didn't work.
・CoreWebView2Profile.ClearBrowsingDataAsync()
・CallDevToolsProtocolMethodAsync("Network.clearBrowserCache", "{}");
Disposing and newing the WebView has no effect.

Research direction
Start by reproducing repeated Navigate calls with the sample code and HTML, then observe memory while trying ClearBrowsingDataAsync, Network.clearBrowserCache, and WebView disposal. Done would require identifying the cause of the increasing consumption and documenting a verified workaround or explanation; the issue provides no repository files or tests to inspect.
