Ignacio,

There is a window in Creator called the "Resource Meter".  At the bottom is the current FLASH and SRAM predicted to be used.

You will notice these resources are 'ghosted'.  These parameters are highly dependent on your application code.

Make a change in your application and the SRAM and FLASH usage will go up or down.

During the build process, an SRAM and FLASH usage is displayed and has more information.  See the results for an app of mine below.

Flash used: 7189 of 262144 bytes (2.7%).
SRAM used: 3814 of 65536 bytes (5.8%). Stack: 2048 bytes. Heap: 128 bytes.
--------------- Build Succeeded: 07/12/2021 11:07:00 ---------------

Ignacio,

I'm using Creator 4.3.

To get access to the "Resource Meter" you have to select the TopDesign tab.

If the memory section is still missing, I'm not sure why it is.

However, you can get the FLASH and SRAM usage from a Rebuild of the project.

Can you please let me know the device that you are using?

You can also use the CyElfTool (for PSoC 4 and PSoC 5LP devices) and CyMCUElfTool (for PSoC 6 devices)

Please refer to the following documents - 

1. For CyElfTool - CyElfTool Command Line Tool Section in PSoC Creator User Guide

2. For CyMCUElfTool - CyMCUElfTool User Guide 

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,
