How to clear the memory completely of all Matplotlib plots?

Using the following methods, we can clear the memory occupied by Matplotlib plots.

plt.figure() - Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.
plt.figure().close() - Close a figure window.
- close() by itself closes the current figure
- close(h), where h is a Figure instance, closes that figure
- close(num) closes the figure number, num
- close(name), where name is a string, closes figure with that label
- close('all') closes all the figure windows
plt.figure().clear() - It is the same as clf.
plt.cla() - Clear the current axes.
plt.clf() - Clear the current figure.

Example

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
plt.figure().clear()
plt.close()
plt.cla()
plt.clf()

When we execute the code, it will clear all the plots from the memory.
