What memory? Core?
Well, emptying the RAM memory without a restart would be impossible.
Unless of course you close a couple of applications.
Fire up a terminal and type in "top" (without quotes) to see what takes most memory.
And you can remove files on Debian without rebooting.
Previous poster was correct… Restarting would be best option.. You could wipe stack memory manually, but results are messy, and unpredictable…
Better approach: run program through valgrind (google it) first…
you have to restart it
