Hi,
how can I recognize which software is using the memory and to what extent?
Thanks for your assistance!
tried the process view in Luci ?

yes.
now you know what's eating your RAM, are you perhaps using a router based adblocker ?

I had Adblock installed but uninstalled it, but could the blocklists still be stored in RAM and not deleted? How can I recognize this? I have installed Wireguard, could this be the problem?
AdguardHome is not yet installed, see here AdGuard Home (AGH) - Install on a usb device
you think adblock allocates a lot of RAM, it's probably nothing compared to AGH.
try restarting dnsmasq, hopefully the RAM will be deallocated.

If you want a more memory-efficient adblocker, try adblock-lean (I'm one of the developers). AGH is very memory-hungry.

Installed, nice! Some question, you gotta a DM 
There is a forum topic for adblock-lean. Asking there gives you access to additional knowledgeable persons.
