• Didn't the query show you what was in the memory? It came from somewhere on the system within your SQL server instance. Maybe it's just all index maintenance scripts that have been running or something along those lines. SQL Server will just load everything it can into memory and keep it there, up to the fixed limit. So any queries, of any kind, that have been run on the system will still have their memory use there until something comes along to clean it out.
