clear all; inmem memory still full

Dan Haeg — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:45:03 -0500

Since I have not used simulink in the current session of matlab that I am running, why do I have simulink in memory.

>> clear all
>> inmem
ans =
    'Simulink.Preferences.schema'
    'Simulink.Preferences.getInstance'
    'Simulink.EditorPrefs.schema'
    'Simulink.FontPrefs.schema'
    'Simulink.FontPrefs.FontPrefs'
    'slroot'
    'RTW.TargetRegistry.schema'
    'Simulink.ExtModeTransports.schema'
    'dataobjectwizard\private\cusattic'
    'mpt.SLDataObjectCustomizer.schema'
    'mpt.RTWBuildCustomizer.schema'
    'mpt.MiscCustomizer.schema'
    'workspacefunc'

I started a new session with the following code:

! matlab.exe &
quit

In the new session:
>> inmem
ans =
    'matlabrc'
    'pathdef'
    'userpath'
    'ispc'
    'filesep'
    'pwd'
    'usejava'
    'hgrc'
    'colordef'
    'whitebg'
    'jet'
    'dot'
    'opaque.char'
    'initprefs'
    'initdesktoputils'
    'findallwinclasses'
    'path'
    'reporterrorlogs'
    'now'
    'datenum'
    'javachk'
    'mdbstatus'
>> clear all
>> inmem
ans =
   Empty cell array: 0-by-1
>> version
ans =
7.6.0.324 (R2008a)

Matlab is now taking up 100MB less memory.

Does anyone know why I can only clear memory sometimes? Thanks for any ideas.

Dan,
Have you figured out how to clear the memory completely? Is it possible to just clear or close one of variables, such as 'Simulink.Preferences.schema'.
