How to clear the memory consumed by MATLAB Process after some simulations?

When I start the MATLAB, the size consumed by the process is 385 Mb. After i run 200 Simulations, memory consumed by the MATLAB process is 10 Gb.

So I want to clear the simulation data periodically because I save the simulation data to hard disk. clear all does not help. Let me know how to recover the data consumed by the matlab process.

pack() is the routine to use. Note that it can only be done when you are at the command line, and it will clean everything out of memory.

PACK is a command that saves all variables on disk, clears the memory, and then reloads the variables.

But I do not want reload of variables. It is clearing the RAM and again due to reload of variables the size is increasing

clear functions; This does the job
