afaik, when you end a process everything it stored in the memory is removed.
If you leave your computer on for a long amount of time you will notice that the amount of memory beeing used doesnt constantly increase, this is because almost all professional programs have good memory control so that they dont have whats known as a "memory leak", where a program allocates some memory space but fails to free it when it has finished using it.
Also completly clearing your memory will allmost definatly crash your computer because any running program will suddenly forget anything that it has stored in memory.
In short, if you are really woried about it, just install an application that can monitor how much memory is beeing used, then leave your computer on and just check to see if your available RAM isnt decreasing constantly.
