Unity remove sprite from memory and replace in next frame.

So I am working on a mobile game. It uses slides for a story, the slides are very large. Each slide is almost 2048*2048; the max texture loading size I am using for the game. My problem is that Unity keeps each slide in the memory after it's loaded, even when it will show only once per game. This leads to the game crashing on older mobiles. My idea was to destroy each object after it was shown using a coroutine, so it deletes the past slide and loads the next slide. This worked because instead of crashing on 23 slides it crashed on 48 slides. After some profiling I realized that destroy() isn't clearing all the memory that a slide used. What I want to do now is assign a limited amount of memory as a slide slot. Then I need some way to unload the slide from the slot, freeing the slot for the next slide; without Unity storing the slides in the memory. Any ideas on how I would do this?
