Bug introduced in 9.0 or earlier and fixed in 12.0


Test the below function:

Func[g_] := 
Module[{G, vl, vdG},    
G = g;    
While[VertexCount[G] != 0,  
vl = VertexList[G];  
vdG = Map[VertexDegree[G, #] &, vl];     
vl = Extract[vl, Position[vdG, Max[vdG]]];     
G = VertexDelete[G, vl[[1]]];
];
Return[True];    
]

with

While[g = RandomGraph[
   BernoulliGraphDistribution[ RandomInteger[{50, 100}], 
    RandomReal[]]]; Func[g]; True]

The same if Module[{G=g,...

Good if G = Graph[VertexList[g], EdgeList[g]];

Is there any method to copy a graph efficiently?

I can reproduce the problem. A more minimal example is

Dynamic@N[a/1024^2]

While[True,
 VertexDelete[RandomGraph[BernoulliGraphDistribution[50, 0.5]], 1];
 a = MemoryInUse[];
]

Please report this to Wolfram Support.
