DataSet and DataTable both implement IDisposable, so, by conventional best practices, I should call their Dispose() methods.

And this can be the best/proper way to Dispose and release the memory consumed by DataSet.

try
    {
        DataSet ds = new DataSet("DS");
        //use table DataTable here
        
    }
    catch {  }
    finally
    {
        if (ds != null)
                {
                    ds.EnforceConstraints = false;
                    ds.Relations.Clear();
                    int totalCount = ds.Tables.Count;

                    for (int i = totalCount - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                    {
                        DataTable td1 = ds.Tables[i];
                        if (td1 != null)
                        {
                            td1.Constraints.Clear();
                            td1.Clear();
                            td1.Dispose();
                            td1 = null;
                        }
                    }

                    ds.Tables.Clear();
                    ds.Dispose();
                    ds = null;
                }
    }
