and why?

I sometimes have trouble remembering things but I wouldn't say I try to
clear it.

Seriously, how about telling us why you think you need to do that. Are you
getting error messages? Is something not working right?

Well any method used with the machine turned on is likely to turn nasty
very quickly...

Do you mean RAM? That's dynamic memory, which means that it goes blank
when the power is removed. So every time you turn off your machine,
the memory is cleared.
